I just got my debut EP uploaded to Amazon MP3 and bought one of my own tracks to judge the quality. Now I know it was going to be less than steller being a 256k mp3 file, however it actually sounds worse. The main factor being that it actually "pumps" like crazy. I uploaded 16 bit 44.1k wavs to tunecore for the distribution of which was perfectly good, no clipping, no pumping nothing like that. I can even put a 256k version alongside the Amazon mp3 and it dosen't have these pumping artifacts.
Now if I pay for a mp3 from one of these download sites I expect as high quality as possible but this seems even below par for an mp3!
Has anybody else been dissapointed by the quality of their music once being uploaded to the distribution sites? I don't know what they use to down-scale the wav's but I think it sucks balls!
