Hi Tom and all,
Quality all the way! So no matter if the file size is 200 or 300 mb, if
it is because of the quality then it's ok.

Sound files do not compress very much when zipped, and usually creating the

possible.

Hi Phil.
This all depends on which compression the installer uses, though multiple
layers of compression rarely makes sense.
I've done an experiment with zip and 7z (aka lzma2). Zip makes the file 90%

Hi Charles,
Well, one purpose of using any zip tool is simply to pack multipl
files into one single archive that can be downloaded. If you are going

It is not just the people downloading
