i have a few songs i want to compress and put onto my Sharp Gx30. the phone only plays MP3's under 4MB. i have songs at 5 mb which dont play, is there any way of compressing them using a special software??? what is the format which the file is most smallest in??? thanks alot
what is the bitrate of the files you are trying to put on? I.e are they 64,96,128,160,192,224,or 320kbps? or do they say something like 192kbps(VBR)? It may be worth converting them down slightly so it is possible to fit them onto your gx30. Lethal
i dont have the GX30 anymore but i am still interested in reducing the file size. my file size vary and YES i do have some songs with a bitrate of 192. How do i reduce this? please give instructions. thanks for helping me out!
http://www.dbpoweramp.com/ convert anything to anything with dbpoweramp. If you get stuck, just send me a pm and i'll gladly assist you.
what is the lowest bitrate should i keep the song at without a significant loss of quality? i want the smallest space song possible but with fair quality!
If you talking about CBR (Constant Bit Rate) then 192 kBps is average but the lowest you should go if your really have to is 128 kBps. Anything below 128 will sound bad and of course 192 and anything above will sound great. I recommend VBR (Variable Bit Rate) as the way to encode to MP3's as it sounds identical to the original CD and it won't take up much hard disk space.
