so you have one week to change these files to a file with a proper format capable of being played on pro audio soundcards (22k mono, NOT 11k or some other wierd 'in-between' format)
we've shortlisted a bunch of tracks but we couldnt do it all cos quite a few tracks would not play on the monitor system due to this problem.
you have ONE WEEK - to replace these files with a new proper version - next weekend we will decide the final winners and any tracks not changed & playable by that date will be excluded from the contest.
the format is 22k mono playback.... pro soundcards do NOT playback at 11k or 16k etc...
22K is the ONLY LO FI freq rate supported by pro audio card which is being used for driving the monitor system... 11k only plays on the lo-end soundcard windows audio mapper codec & not via the main audio rack outs connected to the monitoring system.
THAT IS WHY we specifuy 22k mono cos it'll play on ALL MODEMS AND ALL MONITOR SYSTEMS.

Mhhh, I think is no problem anyway since I uploaded the track on my mp3.com account and you can get it there too if you like.
I'm working on the encode process to my Dancetech tracks list right now, so it will be 22k mono.

The only other alternative is to recode the site 'track-add' section so that the TOTAL used size is the only limit for a user... however, THAT will just have people adding hi-quality 128k/bit files no doubt which defeats the object of modem 'for all' streaming ability.
er... remix mate - just do a fresh copy that fade's out at 5 minutes or so -
see the other thing is, persons in a label will make their mind up about a track after 30 seconds !!

I think you encoded using variable bitrate, that's why the number "flicker" (if you mean the number constantly change)
So you should encode using "fixed" bitrate at 24kbps.
