Online storage

I'm looking for a place to put the entire Ambientlive catalogue as 256k mp3 files
for a pay-to-download service (or a free-to-download depending on what it is)

Does anybody have any experience please.

How would you do it ?

If you haven't encoded the whole catalogue yet, I advise you to use variable Bitrate (VBR) quality level 0 (=highest) instead of the fixed bitrate 256k.

Usually, VBR level 0 does not exceed 256k very often, so on average, your files will be practically the same size. The big advantage with VBR is that it uses the amount of bits that is required in relation to the musical signal. More bits for a more complex signal, less bits when it's not needed...

It takes a bit longer to encode, but overall this produces a better quality playback. I have tried both and I haven't used fixed bitrate since...

And it's compatible with all regular playback devices.

My software of choice for encoding is the excellent Easy CD/DA Extractor by Poikosoft. It is only GBP 21,47 for an unlimited licence (install on every computer you have) and lifetime upgrades and support.

Looking at what's commercially available, tells me what bitrate the customer expects to get.

I use Audioactive to encode

well I use dBpowerAMP Music Converter.
and encode on 320k, but it would be better to do it in flac or shn, but most mp3-players can't read them
