No no!  It's the myspace player's compression.  A 192kbps (lame
--preset 192) mp3 or a high quality ogg (oggenc -q 9) will be fine for
normal listening.  People with nice hi-fis might appreciate higher
bitrates or flac, but you can worry about that later.

If you're using the myspace player because you don't have hosting,
give me a shout and I can host a track or two for you.
