I use Win Media Player as my main player, but want to know how to convert the mp3's I already have to aac files to make them smaller.
Any suggestions?

Itunes can do it.
Checkout my photos at My Website"Duct tape is like the force. It has a light side, a dark side, and it holds the world together." |

Get DBPowerAmp, probably the greatest around with virtually any codec to use

Just tried DBPowerAmp and impressed with the conversions, but Disc2phone doesn't recognise the music file then...
What now? |

Ok, so I tried transfering the file using a card reader which worked but I then find out the phone doesn't recognise aac files...
Thought k750's did??? Does it make a difference that it's now a W800 using DcVinci? |

Think I was using the wrong codec... Works now!
Works as M3a file |

Still don't get as good a sound quality for nearly the same size file as when I use Disc2phone software...
e.g. file with Disc2phone was 1.4MB, sounding brilliant, and as m3a it was 1.3MB but sounded crap!
My advice = use Disc2phone and convert the bit rate to 64Kbps (or higher if u have bigger MSDuo) for decent sounding music. |

All disc2phone does is convert the audio to the 'set' kbps rate. I can certainly tell you that there is certainly no difference in a 96kbps .m4a and a 128kbps .mp3, apart from the m4a being roughly about 1.5mb smaller each track  |

yeah 
target, ya gotta get out of the disc2phone mindset. It ONLY supports MP3 that's why you can't use it to send an MP4 (aac) file to the phone.
You can use WMP 10 to synchromise AAC tracks with the W800 |

yeah i learnt that one max...remember disc2phone is only good if your mp3's have already been encoded at more than 128kbps (i personally wouldnt use more than 128 mp3s, waste of space) and you want them reduced to save space on your duo, then d2p can kill 2 birds with one stone so to speak. Of course, if you're ripping direct from an Audio CD, then d2p is also pretty nifty to get the tracks on your phone quickly.
However, if the tracks you want to transfer are already encoded at your desired bit rate, draggin n droppin using explorer is sooo much simpler and quicker. Seriously though try experiementing with aac or m4a's, you'll save a chunk of space on your card  |

my bad  I thought it did, as usually Microsoft have proven how stupid they can be.
You can get a mass storage synchroniser for itunes. It allows you to synch itunes tracks with a mass storage device ex: your phone.
or you can always just use itunes to organise your music, then copy the contents of the itunes folder to your mp3 folder on the mem stick.

dbpoweramp is a good free solution for aac ripping. You can also use it to convert real audio files to aac. |
