If song has nice production etc it shouldn't sound too bad. Maybe you are just oversensitive to quality

QUOTE (The Uncreator @ May 17 2010, 08:01 PM) I think Its just because for the past 3 months I have been recording/rendering/mixing everything in 320+ bit rate, and everything as a .wav file - Its the sudden change that bothers me, But then again - its just for internet streaming, so like you said I'm probably being oversensitive Yeah you are right, when you get used to good quality everything else sounds horrible even though these things are not registered by the average listener You have some great material, so it would be cool to see your new album on sites such as reverbnation

QUOTE (The Uncreator @ May 17 2010, 08:55 PM) I went from 320 to 96 and its still 11.5mb, Im going crazy! Gonna just have to fork over the $30 I think, Cause I don't know if I can use anything under 96 - It just messes with my hard work too much Damn, that is 12+ minutes song right ? ) Cut it in two ehehehe (I'm kidding that would butcher it) Let's see if someone has an idea how to make a nice small mp3 out of your songs? -------------------- For GMC support please email support (at) guitarmasterclass.net

MP3 compression is only roughly about 10 times based on a 44.1/16 to a 128 VBR so a big file like Uncreator has will still end up as a big MP3. You can get the mp3 a little bit smaller if you switch from VBR to CBR but the audio quality will be a little worse; similarly if you alter bit rate - reduce it from 128 to 96 and you will get a smaller file but also one that is of poorer audio quality. BTW many radio stations broadcast digital at either 128 or 192 - 320 is better than pretty much all broadcast audio - due to bandwidth. Much below 96 bit rate and the quality won't be good enough for music: below 128 and the artifacts and distortion is just too obvious to most people. Finally you can try a different mp3 rendering codec - ie Fraunhofer instead of LAME etc - to whichever your using but I think the compression will still be minimal.
One slightly different issue - if you're producing a CDA then you need to take the bit depth down from a 24 bit wave (or whatever bit depth your daw is running) to 16 to be red book CDA compatible. This should as ItsMe has already suggested be done via a good dithering setup. However, most (virtually all) mp3s now use VBR and it is not often necessary to change bit depth for an mp3 prior to rendering to that format. Final final thing (promise  ) as an alternative to Reverbnation take a look at Bandcamp here. I don't know how it compares generally but it does allow you to use formats other than mp3.
