minimizing my imported cds
 

I'm trying to upload my cd's to my computer but each song is 3+MB how do i import them as an mp3 format and around 5,000kb ish
but still good quality!

thanks
mike

Huh?
 

5000KB is 5MB, which would make the files larger than what you say you're getting. Is that what you want?
Anyway, what computer do you have? A PC windowze? A Mac?

The size of the files when converted to mp3 can vary in size depending upon your quality settings. When they are mono, stereo, joint stereo, & their bit rate: variable or 48 to 320 kbps, & their quality setting, Sample Rate & type of codec used to do these conversions. There's more than one type of mp3. And there's also a newer format known as m4a/m4p which enables them to be compressed even further in size than mp3 whilst maintaining reasonable sound quality (however this latter format is not recognised by all mp3 players & thus should be used with some caution.)

I saw an ad for an mp4 player, destined to play those most probably. But I can't seem to find it anywhere now (not that I've bothered to look:p )

Were you refering to mac/pc, iTunes can play them (I think the only one for mac), & there's a no. for pc. I also have a list if you want them. See: http://www.m4a.com/
& converters for m4a. The answer to my Q on the forum was only for pc's.

No, no. I was talking about portable walk mans. I know iTunes can play them, since mine was by default set to import all songs in this format...
