MediaMaster now works even better with Kinoma Player

A cou­ple months ago I wrote about how you can use a ser­vice called Media­Mas­ter to stream your music to Kinoma Player.

At the end of that arti­cle, I noted:

As I write this, Media­Mas­ter streams your music at 128 kbps. Although that’s a pretty high data rate for mobile audio stream, it’ll nor­mally work fine on Sprint’s and Verizon’s high-speed “3G”networks.

The fine folks at Media­Mas­ter are very inter­ested in pro­vid­ing a bet­ter expe­ri­ence for Kinoma Player users. I’ll let every­one know when they’re offer­ing mobile-optimized streams that work great even dur­ing peak times and for AT&T’s “2.75G” net­work as well.

Hap­pily, Media­Mas­ter recently added the very fea­ture we dis­cussed — you can now spec­ify the bitrate for your stream, and whether it should be mono or stereo.

I rec­om­mend start­ing with stereo at 48 kbps or mono at 32 kbps, and then exper­i­ment­ing from there to get the best qual­ity that works reli­ably with your network.
