XFire is fine, and I know you are having difficulty with it dropping connection, but...
 
To launch into a game, use HLSW (http://www.hlsw.net/) instead. Download, install, and use the HLSW icon on the XI front page to record a shortcut to the servers you prefer in HLSW. Learning curve should be minimal there. Advantage is you can see who's in a game before entering.

 
Submitting to other music agencies won't come with the same file size limitation as found here. This is just a community forum service. Artists upload entire CDs to Girls Rock Radio at 320k and my uploader does not balk at them. DON'T send music producers here to listen to your music. They will realize what an Idiot you are and it will be over before it begins! LOL.

Rusty,
 
MP3 is a "lossy" format, which means that compression causes a degradation (loss) of fidelity, but yes, you can reduce the size of an MP3 by encoding at a lower bitrate. That will also reduce the size of the actual file. For Girls Rock Radio, I specify that artists must upload music submissions at a bitrate of 256k minimum, 320k preferred. The station streams at 128k, but to maintain the best fidelity, I have to start above 128 so the stream audio processors and encoders don't noticeably affect the quality of the sound.
 
For you, a program like Audacity (free - http://audacity.sourceforge.net/) could be used to load your master audio file, then specify a size-friendly bitrate to save in MP3 format.
 
256k + = CD Quality
128k = Near CD Quality (but better than FM quality)
96k = FM Quality
56K and below = starts to loose fidelity quickly with 28K sounding about like AM radio.
 
Experiment with these to find a good compromise between audio quality and file size for upload.
 
Does this help?

Way to go Star! The village has gained another idiot.

 
A philosopher with a knife. Hmm...
 
You are who you are today, Mule, because of all that's come before. If you don't love yourself, you're going to have problems. Otherwise, it's all good. Regardless, always make peace with the person you are, and if you cannot, it's time to make some drastic changes. When you're cool with yourself, you can make it through anything.

There's some weird shit in there!

My suggestion... Facebook terms of service says one and only one account per person. They may delete all of your accounts if you are found in violation. If you need to create other entities on Facebook, create a "Page" for them. For instance, http://www.facebook.com/GirlsRockRadio is a "Page" created by and administered under my regular facebook account (http://www.facebook.com/thomas.forrester) You would never know that the Girls Rock Radio page is mine unless I made some public statement to that effect. You can find a link to create a Page at the bottom of your own facebook page.
 
Just so we're clear here, I'm not trying to beat you up about this. I'm only pointing out the facts in the hope that you won't suddenly find yourself without a facebook account at all. Savvy?

Rusty can I sign you up to my label? Lol!
 
It's the BMD we are a cut above the rest! Label! lol

NOBODY's offended. Just do what you do. No excuses, no worries, no apologies. Just do it.

I'm trying to decide which is better, so I thought I'd just take a poll.
 
Which do you like better, top or bottom (sig that is) ?
 
You may also suggest a re-caption if you wish.
