What happens to your Audio Files when you Record or Upload to Spreaker
This topic is being asked really regularly, lets explain how it works right now. There are three things in place:
Spreaker keeps the original uploaded file only if it’s an mp3. So to answer the question: we do have the original file ONLY if it’s an mp3, no matter the encoding settings. This was done for different reason that what you maybe expect, and the reason was to preserve the ID3 metadata in file, since at that time we were not able to safely copy them over to the new file.
We re-encode EVERY file that’s not mp3 AND 128kbps AND stereo AND 44100Hz. This is because to keep our custom streaming server simple back in the days, we decided to support only this format.
For streaming (website + apps) we always use the re-encoded one.
For Downloads we use the original one when it’s available (see 1) except when the download comes from the iOS podcast app. The reason behind this is that we detected that app to be broken when processing some ID3 metatada (at least iOS8/9/10) so to avoid playback issues we have an exception in place that checks the user agent of the request and decide based also on that.

Is publishing audio to YouTube is worth it anymore? My thought is that it is, just don’t have high expectations
