Hey there people,
I'm a fledgling composer building my online sonic portfolio.
I've been using Soundcloud, and for the most part, every song I've uploaded has sounded just fine. However, one song I just added sounds really nasty once it's uploaded--even though it sounds totally fine when played in Pro Tools, as a 'preview' on my Mac desktop, or in itunes, etc.
The reason for this is Soundcloud's transcoding process, which bit-reduces all files down to 128 kbps MP3s. Again, while virtually all my other songs have luckily been unaffected by this, the acoustic guitar in this song in particular just gets mangled by Soundcloud's transcoding process. I've re-uploaded this song about 12 different times with different versions: different mp3, lossless .wav, with dither, w/o dither, etc...each time that acoustic guitar just sounds grainy, garbled and shitty.
I'm wondering if there are any audio players out there that can be placed into websites that stream lossless .wav files (highly doubt that), or more realistically, 320 kbps MP3s? Any good alternatives to Soundcloud, preferably ones that can display a JPEG along with the song as its playing?
TL;DR: Streaming Audio players for websites that can play .wav files or higher quality MP3s?
Thanks!
