POLL question:
I was wondering, what's your smallest but decent bitrate for your mp3 or aac?
I compress my mp3s at 112kbps by 44100 using dBpoweramp
That's what i think is the most decent and compressed mp3 for my k750, and if u won't mind, kindly state the mp3 compressor that u are using...

128kbps U@ 44khz Using Audacity to edit the mp3 wave forms and adding certain effects to make it sound better thru the speaker and Lame and Razor Lame GUI to encode them. |

i use dBpowerAMP with FAAC mp4 and put the quality setting on 40...usually ends up encoding them at 70-80kbps and the quality is great. |

IMHO: 128kbit/s for MP3 and 64kbit/s for alternative formats (aac, ogg, wma, mp4, 3gp)

Bout the size of the mp3? how small does yours go, and does it still sound good? mine can only go from 3.3-3.9mb on 112kbps/44100hz
btw, someone posted ogg??? hmmm... for k750 mate? or is just for symbian based fones...
btw wats the most compressed format a k750 can handle?(with the same quality and loudness, that is...) cheers!

@silie, is that stereo? IMO stereo mp3s lower than 112kbps already has very significant quality degradation. For mono however even 56kbps is still acceptable.
resistance is futile. |

The absolute minimum bit rate for me is 128K, but I normally use 192K. The K750 is a great sounding phone, I use it to the max 
Enjoy the music! |

It's a completely differet issue wether you want your mp3s for ringtones or to listen to them. For listening, you CAN'T really go below 128 kbit, but for ringtones almost anything will do, really. I personally use 48 kbit Mono (CBR) and they come out just fine.
I use the FREE version of WavePad suite, from http://nch.com.au/wavepad/index.html
Give it a try, very easy, powerful and complete solution to sound editing, and you can't really beat the price

for listening, mp4s at 96kbps isn't that bad IMO, but normally I use a minimum of 128kpbs stereo mp3s or 112kbps stereo mp4s.
Edit: I use either CDex, iTunes, or dbPowerAmp for conversion.

Some of these low bitrates but with additional smoothing and effects might not sound distorted or too bad but surely they don't sound as the artist intended. |

The best way to judge the quality of the compressed sound is to compare it with the original uncompressed file or any hi-quality version of the sound. It is important to maintain the quality of the original sound as much as possible. Most of the time the degradation of the sound when you compress it too much is very evident in the high frequencies like cymbals, strings, hi-note vocals, etc. -- they usually start to sound too artificial and lifeless, IMO.

I believe the #1 rule here is: There simply is NO substitute for LESS compression. |
