In the last couple of months I've had problems uploading mp3s to certain websites. Before that I had no problems at all. With soundclick I can only upload using their "simple uploader" and on wix.com I get an error message saying it's not an mp3 file. I sent a wav file off to the makers of my wav to mp3 convertor support section who returned an mp3 to me which works ok but I can't seem to have the same luck if I convert the same thing, even if I use the same settings as them. Any body else have this problem? Vic

Vic I have the same problem with Soundclick...it will only upload using the "simple uploader" the other method just freezes or simply does nothing..... others I know have the same prob so it is a prob on the Soundclick side not our end.... no biggie as that simple load works OK. I do not know anything about wix.com so cannot help you there. There are loads of freebie convertor programs and even ways to do it just using your PC so my advice if you are having probs with your convertor is to try a different conversion program or try a different method. Sometimes if the bit rate is too high or the file size is too large some sites will not accept the MP3 so it is worth checking to see if your file is inside the limits.

Thanks Jim. Good to know I aren't alone. My file sizes are well under their limits so can't be that. I even tried a different convertor but the problem is still there. Tammy says she can't upload to Jango either, weird. Vic

hey Vicarn, I have an MP4 and most sites still don't recognize it, they are still stuck in the MP3 mode, Reverbnation is one I can't post songs on only videos. and sound click as well...I guess I should have bought an MP3, unless there is a way to convert an MP4 to an MP3 format???you are not alone....LOL~~~ MDB III

There are tons of freebie converters out there just Google. BTW Audacity can convert to Mp3 if you have installed the Lame Mp3 decoder for Audacity.

It can depend on the connection too. I was on the net for nearly 6 years using dial-up before I switched to broadband.
Other then that I have used different freebie converters from CDex to Windows Media. But some have spyware. I would like an entire list of software that has that.
