I compared the quality of mp3 and aac.
It's about the same : same size (aac a little bit bigger than mp3), same quality.
I converted an mp3 to m4a using dbpoweramp.
m4a, mp4 codec Release 3.5
FAAC v1.24.1
Quality 90 (VBR)
And I used Faad (AAC decoder) v2.1 Beta in wimamp to decode.
I think it's better to convert your audio files to mp3.

Wrong. You are comparing apples to oranges. If you compared a VBR MP3 encoded file against an AAC VBR encoded file you will find the MP3 file is much bigger.
Why use VBR anyway? VBR encoded files are WAY bigger then ABR. If you use the ABR codecs then you will find that a 96Kbps aac file is about 25% smaller than an MP3 128Kbps, with equivalent audio quality.

max you are wrong here, you should always use vbr as long as your player takes it.
vbr=variable bitrate.
abr=average bitrate.
vbr will give better quality, so you can either lower bitrate a little giving you smaller files, or stick with that improved quality.

hey guys,
i have got a software which converts 5mb song to 800kb its name is nch switch sound it is available at http://www.nch.com.au/switch/index.html Go to this site and select sound converter, download free version of it. After installation go to encoder settings adjust bitrate from 8 to 32 and sound quality 4, stereo is joint.
GUYS it converts 6.5 mb song to 1 mb.

compression is not the only important thing when converting audio. The quality is equally important, so it has to be a practical compromise between the two. IMO, bitrates lower than 112kbps for a stereo AAC or lower than 128kbps for a stereo mp3 will already show significant degradation in the sound quality.
It depends on the individual taste actually, but IMO 32kbps is too low even for mono at any format.
resistance is futile. |

Well, it depends upon the type of quality speakers u r playing that music in.
I use a K750i, and in my phone, this quality is kool. It does change a bit when i maximize the volume, but i never listen full volume.
And the genuine 5MB file is meant for hardcore speakers and i bet ur cellphone doesnt have those kinda speakers.
So just chill

nero does a nice job of converting .wav's to .mp3's, though most of the software available to do that task is adequite for what you want to do... |
