you get to upload higher quality mp3's when you pay them 9 dollars a month. plus you get a lot of other stuff too.

1. free account = 128 kbps mp3 file up to 10 megs. (songs sound okay...)

2. pay 9 dollars = 512 kbps mp3 file up to 50 megs. (songs are awesome quality)

^^^ also... i record in a studio... and my files for my songs are sometimes 20 megs and more. i want my stuff to sound as good as possible so poeple can hear me!
