Good Tip For 56k Users.

[Mr. Blunt]

Well I tried something right now. I ripped a MP3 file and a WMA file. They were both 192 K bits/second and the same song.



The WMA files seems to be bigger than the MP3. Oh well. Proved me wrong. Maybe it'll be different for another file. Dunno.

yea, even if the file is smaller, the difference is miniscule, while the quality is quite noticable.

your better off getting ogg. files.

When you download music try finding the song you are looking for in .wma format and then download an wma to mp3 converter program to convert it. Reason why to do this is because .wma music file&#39;s are not as large and doesn&#39;t take long to download as .mp3.

Thanks for the tip, but I prefer downloading the mp3&#39;s as they are only 4-5mb at 128 bps. Conversion would take time.

yes, while we are all dissing wma&#39;s.. mp3s are still king. they are small. (do you wanna download a wave file) and pack a lot of quality. I hope they will soon be overtaken by .ogg, which seems to be one of the best inovations in digital music to happen since, well, the mp3 was introduced. But until then, your best bet is still with mp3s.

Best tip yeah

McLaren - if you share a lot please don&#39;t download lower quality .wma and convert them to mp3 and share those new mp3&#39;s on the network. They will only pollute the network with files that are poorer quality than ones that were encoded to mp3 originally and are the same size.

Agree&#33;

Dont mess with bitrates please. It just creates bad quality music files.
Converted files [from 128 to 192] do not sound better, and if you share them you are simply deceiving people&#33;

If you really want small files try MP3 PRO, its crap, but small files...
