i dont know if its just me but i have notice that if you reduce the bitrates of your mp3 you actually save battery power...before i did not have any mp3s lower than 128, but when i tried 52kbps, my battery power ran longer...try it, at the expense of music quality of course  |

yes, this thing really works not only with cell phones but with any other mp3 players. But, frankly 52Kbps? what kind of music is it then? is that really enough for you? |

Most of my MP3's are in 320kbs (on computer), what would be the "best fit" for use on phone? |

reduce the bitrates of your mp3s will produce a lower quality of sound.. that ain't a good thing  anyway, thanks for sharing..

192 MP3, 128 for AAC (m4a, mp4) is my preferred.
You could go as low as 128 MP3 and 96 AAC, depends on your ears, but lower than that and the music is just too tinny (as someone said, the symbols sound like bells). K750 can only play maximum 192Kbps anyway, so your 320Kbps mp3's are out

@ max_wedge
was curious about you mentioning 320kbps mp3 playback not being possible on the K750/W800, so I just tested some 320kbps mp3s on my D750->W800 and everything worked fine (playback on the headset + speaker).
just did this cause I was sure I had listened to some 320kbps mp3s on my phone before

I only listen to the 320kbps 'near CD quality' versions of my mp3's,but i love my battery life!(my battery lasts 11 hours playing only 320kbps mp3's.Try it!58Kbps,64kbps,92kbps,128kbps and 192kbps STINKS!256kbps&320kbps RULES!

for me, anything that's lower than 128kbps sounds like crap...

I use Sound Forge 8 to convert my songs to 128kbps. They sound GREAT on my W800i. |

With that bitrate, it makes very little sense to use mp3, since it means nearly no compression at all. It's better to store the disk image instead on disk. The only advantage with mp3 in that case is that it is playable on some mp3 players. I say "some" since not all mp3 players are capable of handling that high bitrate. Too low bitrate is no good either, since the sound quality suffers. Files with bitrates below 64 kbps are not worth the effort of uploading to the mp3 player. IMHO, bitrates around 128 kbps are the best compromise between size and quality for mp3 players. |
