Hello everyone,

I've recently begun using Flash Players to broadcast my music on my own website and Myspace. I really like it but have noticed a clear degradation of sound quality.
If I compare a 320kbps mp3 streamed through the Flash Player and the very same mp3 played "directly" (typing its address in any browser), the difference is more than obvious!
I was told this is due to streaming technology's weakness and I can't find a workaround for this...
I've also found on this board the following FAQ:
"Why does my stream sync sound playback with poor quality?
The Flash IDE has tended to ignore compression settings in the Sound Properties window for stream sync sounds. Instead, use the Flash tab of the Publish Settings window to set overall compression for all stream sounds, not sound properties window".
I'm not sure this also applies to Flash Players (?...) but, if so, could a gentle soul explain a little bit further how to precisely do so?...
Sound quality is critical to me (I'm a musician and a sound enginneer) and I can't just "live with it" as it is.
Thanks for any info.
Mat

PS:
if you want to hear the difference for yourself, you can go there and click on the "Feed it Back" link just above the Flash Player and then compare it to the very same file played through the Flash Player. Of course, the difference will be more noticable on decent speakers...
