****** Now To Answer the Question *******

First, it is important to note that you can stream music at a lower bitrate than your plan, but you cannot stream music with a higher bitrate than your plan (without the server going into suspend mode). For example, you have 224 kbps plan - streaming music recorded at 192 kbps will work. However, if you had a 128 kbps plan you cannot stream music recorded at 192 kbps. You could only stream 128 and less.

→ More often than not, you should check mount points. By default, when your account is set up, it is set up with mount points (unless otherwise indicated) and that mount point is set to 128 kbps by default.

Go to settings under Configuration

Click on the Mount Points Tab
Click on a mount point
Click on the Auto DJ Settings Tab
From here you:
1. Select Format type, MP3 OGG, or AAC (Must be set to MP3 for Virtual Games like RLC and Second Life).
2. Encoding Type
3. Use slider to increase/decrease bitrate (if you only plan to use one mount point slide the slider all the way to the right to give you full use of your plan.
4. Chanel type: Stereo/Mono
5. Sample Rate
