rubberducky2008 Posted July 2, 2002 Share Posted July 2, 2002 I have an Intel Pocket Concert portable Mp3 player. It can hold 128 mb of mp3s, which is not so bad. The only thing is when I want to hold more than 30 mp3s at a time, I have to sacrifice quality and encode in 96 kbps, which sounds horrible. I was wondering if encoding into .wma or another format would allow me to hold more mp3s without sacrificing tons of quality. :)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadrack Posted July 2, 2002 Share Posted July 2, 2002 ummm...if you encode in wma format then you are no longer using "mp3"s you are using "wma"s. So your question confusses me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thingsforjason Posted July 2, 2002 Share Posted July 2, 2002 not really no...if you're encoding WMAs @ 128kbps versus MP3s @ 128kbps, it's still 128kbps...they'll be about the same size. you could try encoding at 112...

rubberducky2008 Posted July 2, 2002 Author Share Posted July 2, 2002 112 would be a good trade off, I will try that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sailgreg Posted July 11, 2002 Share Posted July 11, 2002 I would get a 10gb hard drive based player, those are really nice :) And wma files are about half the size of MP3's at the same bit rate :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger H. Veteran Posted July 11, 2002 Veteran Share Posted July 11, 2002 simply encode in WMA at 64Kbps and it'll sound perfect. That's the good thing about WMA. I have an Ipaq and all the songs on it are converted to WMA from MP3s (since my desktop has tons of space) but converted to 64Kbps and they sound good. The only prob is that my Ipaq doesn't have that much bass as my 5.1 speakers but i didn't expect it to... :) HEHE.... but they sound excellent!

MP3s at 128k sounds just as good as WMAs at 64K so they are half the size.. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
