Compressing MP3's My 512mB memory stick for me ericsson w800i only holds about 5 or 6 albums. What about compressing them a bit further to cram more on, yay or nay? how much could they be compressed without serious loss of quality, bearing in mind it dont have to be perfect, im only using tatty pound shop earphones, and i change my music more often than i change my undercrackers. whats the best software to use?
anything below 190 will start sounding really rough.Why arent you using the earphones you got with it???
If your not using decent head phones and just want loads of music in a small space you can push 16kbps (about the same clarity as radio). Then again if the head phones are shit it wont matter
reet, i am a complete amature, soo will this software tell me what kbps the tracks are already? and will i just punch in 128kbps and it sort it out for me?
it will do show you whats its current bit rate is yes, and soundforge has probably one of the best mp3 algorhythms.
What you need to do is open the file in sound forge. Then go to file and save as. In the box that appears you can chose the quality you save as. Chage it to what you want to the computer will do the rest.
right ive downloaded a copy of Blaze Media Pro. its a lot less hassle than messing about with something dodgy and having to fuck around with cracks and shit to get it to work. what exactly will adjustment of the output frequency have? i can have from 6kHz to 48kHz in steps of about 6-8kHz bit rate can be from 8 to 320 kbps. what are suitable settings do yous reckon?
44 or 48 khz and about 128 bit rate, if your headphones are proper pap then you might not notice any qual change with somet as low as 96
cheers hew mate! i converted about 200 songs to 48kbps, it takes up less thatn half me memory stick but sounds a bit crape
