    Preview Quality/Lenght

    If I'm not mistaken, the preview quality is rather high? Is that necessary?

    Also, why is it possible to preview the whole track?

    On many other sites you can only hear 30 seconds or so. Is not that enough?

    What do you think?

    Hey,

    Preview qualities being high is a good thing for your fans to hear your music better before they purchase the track.

    We are working to create an option for 30sec previews depending on your choice.  Soon we hope.

    H Olatuja,

    All new tracks are processed with a limmited preview clip of 60 seconds.  The bit rate of these clips is 128 kbps
    All back catalogue has been reprocessed and we are getting these new clips in place now.

    There will be a manager update in the coming weeks to allow managers to choose either full length streams or 60 second clips.  The quality of the full length stream is also 128 kbps (this has been upgraded from the previous quality of 64 kbps).

    Hope this answers all your questions regarding previews

    Andrew
