          Because 5.1 Surround Sound songs are larger in file size.

          For FFR They have to make the songs the lowest possible size. So it's restricted to Stereo 2.0

          The song sizes are less then 1mb.


          If they had them large for those surround sound options, then it would take up a lot more of there bandwidth and server space.

                  hmm, that means i it will never give an surround sound or 2.1 ...

                          As far as I know, 5.1 would take up an insignificant amount of extra space... although I am not very knowledgable on the particular topic.

                          I would also be suprized if all songs were under 1mb, considering there are some pretty long songs. Quality wise, while it's not a very long song, Szamar Madar, if not surround sound, it's very high quality stereo, far different than almost all other song qualities.

                              The majority of the songs are originally recorded in stereo... in fact, most recordings aren't even meant for 5.1 or 2.1 unless they are movies, and they end up sounding all funky and distorted.

                              There are exceptions, but then those recordings will sound terrible on a stereo setup, not to mention it's not even worth mixing in 5.1 because of how painfully difficult it is for the sound engineers to do it that way and the target market being kids with their iPods and their Youtubes and their Borats.

                              Also my guess is that the majority of the songs sent or that make it are compressed horribly into mp3 and compressed AGAIN even more for FFR.. it sounds gross and it wouldn't even be worthwhile to hear that junk in 5.1. =(

                                  ipatch speaks the truth... flash compresses the audio file more than it's already compressed as an mp3. we do the best we can (and you may notice a better quality out of more recent songs than older ones)... but flash has limitations. we do the best we can with what we work with.

                                      ffr cant play in 5.1 as it has no support for it. if you want it to be in 5.1 then find a way to configure that throught your sound software
