We recommend uploading files in 128kbps at a sample rate of 44.1khz (44100 Hz) STEREO. Our system is not engineered to run off of anything else other than 44.1Khz Stereo files, and as a result, any other settings will fail. Any files that are uploaded differently will not be supported. We have only tested 128kbps files, but generally all 44.1Khz STEREO mp3s will work.
