just thought i might share this info. converting music at 64kb can get up 500 music on a one gig card. i used windows media to convert music. I have 512 songs on my p1 before converting i only had less than 200 songs.

the quality of the songs are excellient with mega base using walkman earphones and loud speaker music is still good but not with mega base

any music file that's below 128kb sounds like crap. 192kb and above's much more preferable. just get a higher capacity M2.

I must admit I did this when I had my K700i with only about 40 mb internal memory.
But these days I would rather have less music in my phone than to accept very bad sound quality. There's a lot of distortion at these low bitrates. Your ears must be very bad if you think this is acceptable.

I don't agree. AAC@64 kbps brings better sound at less space, if original source such as cd is available there's no compromise

Yeah I prefer 192 and higher rates for Mp3 songs... Everything below that sucks. So the only way to get more songs while keeping the insane quality is buying larger memory stick as recommended above.

AAC@64kb bit rate has exactly the same quality as of an MP3@128 or MP3@164kbps bit rate.

I usually convert Mp3@128kb to AAC@64kb, Mp3@164 to AAC@96, MP3@196 & 256 to AAC@164 and Mp3@320 to AAC@256kb with SE Media Manager and there's not any difference in quality.


EDIT If you convert an MP3@128kb to Mp3@64 then the quality is not acceptable. So better to convert to AAC@64. Though the size will not be halve, but you get same quality with a bit less sized file.

64kbps for ringtones. 192kbps mp3 or AAC equivalent for music. not higher because i like A2DP not to cut out (it struggles with higher bit rates).

not lower because 2gb (or 4gb even) memory cards are cheap as chips!

and AAC is not twice the quality of mp3, it's more like a third better.
