my ipod is on the blink at the moment so i just bought myself a cheap, 512 mb mp3 player but nearly all my songs are 320 bit and they take up about 15 mb each, is there any way in which u can make then smaller?

i have a couple which are only 32 bit n they take up less than 1 mb. i know the quality will decrease but if i dont do this then i doubt i will get many songs on to it!:(

please help!!!

Sounds like your MP3 tracks need re-encoding, just go on Download.com (http://www.download.com) and download an MP3 encoder, then run your MP3s through the encoder with the required settings, then Robert is your Mother's cousin twice removed! :D

Hope that helps :thumbsup:

If they're ripped from CD then encoded make sure you rip them again into a lower-bitrate as you'll get better quality than just reencoding another MP3.
