mp3? if so use dBpoweramp - but download older freeware version so as you can use it for more than 14(?)days - download link for total freeware version

hell, if you want to shrink a file, put it in winzip.

what type of file do you want smaller? what do you want it for s we can help you out.

p.s. of its an MP3... dbPoweramp is good.
Its good to be back!

There is always a trade-off between file size and quality. What bitrate are your MP3s encoded at? If it's anything over 128 you should be able to re-encode them to 128 and still appreciate the sound. You just need to decide which is more important, the number of tunes you can carry or their quality.

i normally encode my mp3s @ about 64kbps and they sound alright if they haven't been converted too many time (mp3 is a lossy format ! ) you can use dBpoweramp to do that - see my post futher up for older freeware download - works the same
