mp3 is already compressed so any app will most likely not be able tocompress it much further - add to this the fact that compression requires a header to written onto the file you may end up with a file bigger than the mp3
:> i have a charles siegling MP3 set here ...from i think "Plus :(China) 2001" :> courtesy of a dutch list member which is 81Mb. :> :> I just tried to Zip the file up and it came back bigger that it :started..... :> so can anyone tell me whether MP3 files can be ZIP'd and their :approximate :> ratio - this was 1%? I dont normally use WinZip ...... only to :extract.... :> :> Remember you need to receive this file through an overnight free :connection :> or an ASDL or work connection. On at 56k modem, it will take :all week and :> skint you... :> :> Of course, if any member can suggest a more efficient method of :my mailing :> this file I'd be glad to hear. : :You could use Winrar and split it up into smaller files of your :choice (10 - :8MB files, 40 - 2MB files...). Plus, I think it does better compression :ratios too. : :Kevin :http://www.mp313.com : : :--------------------------------------------------------------------- :To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] :For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] : : --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
