I can imagine that many people uploads MP3 files, but it should sound > terrible if they reconvert them also, or maybe they do? Soundcloud will encode to their own standard, which I think is 128kbps. They even have this disclaimer: "Sometimes our transcoding system can create audio artifacts, as we transcode all tracks to 128 kbps mp3 for streaming playback. Uploading a lossless or high-quality lossy file will usually reduce these to a minimum, but unfortunately there's not much we can do for the handful of individual tracks that are still affected." -- Brett W.
