Ah, I see. A shame that almost nobody does it, probably because they're not aware of the possibility. Actually probably a combination of not knowing it's possible and not knowing how to encode a file... with people finding they can just about manage something like windows movie maker.
(When youtube encoded everything as mono (and when it was all.flv) I discovered that if I encoded the .flv myself in stereo it'd play on the site as stereo, which was quite nice.)

What measures did you take when uploading your files Robert? I'm keen on your 24/96 transfers, not the mp3's so much.

The
video files are 192 kbps AAC / 48 kHz (encoded from 24/96). I can do a killer needledrop but I'm useless with video so I just went with my software's "youtube" settings. The 24/96 transfers will be exclusively available here shortly.

That's beyond expectations.

Ha ha ha - I've been looking for you on that p2p client we have in common, as I can cherry pick what I'm interested in.

Thanks, Robert & Dan, for taking the time to discuss the Youtube audio bitrate issue I raised in my post.
