Hi everyone!
I got a problem with my music files, they are to big; a 4 min track is 40 mb big!!!
Could you tell me some freeware programms to get it to a nice small mp3 size and put it on the web.
Thanx!!

I listened to Hatfield and the North at Rainbow. They were very wonderful and they made my heart a prisoner.

Re: Compressing music files
Argh. It's a tradeoff, damnit. Don't make these stupid replies if you're not looking for answers.
http://www.dors.de/razorlame/ combined with the LAME encoder (here: http://lame.sourceforge.net/ ) is the best kind of mp3 you can have for free. Audacity can also use the same LAME encoder. You can adjust the quality so it's going to be a healthy 320kbps instead of an anemic 128kbps.
http://flac.sourceforge.net/ is still big, but not 40 megs big.

CDex using the LAME encoder works fine for me.

Re: Compressing music files
Thank you very much.
I finally solved the problem downloading the lame_enc library. I know that mp3 quality is bad but honestly, I have not reached that chapter yet , where can I learn about that??

Re: Compressing music files
What's happening with lossless compression on the PC side? I haven't really been keeping up with that. I play with Apple Lossless some.
Switches, knobs, buttons, LEDs, LCD screens, monitors, keys, mice, jacks, sockets. Now two joysticks!

There's also Monkey's Audio, which is lossless. Dunno if anyone actually uses it though...
