As topic, how do i reduce an Mp3 size possibly without affecting its quality, i have a few songs with 8mb or 9mb each, i want to resize it to like 2,3 or 4mb la, smaller size one, anyone can recommend me any softwares?

try Goldwave.. its not fre though

reduce the bitrate of the songs..

http://www.goldwave.com/

theres a mp3pro format outhere. it claims to achieve transparency at lower bitrates than mp3, resulting in a file nearly half the size of standard mp3.usually i use musicmatch as the converter.the sound is very tight. and thank god i can put more song in my damn cellphone.

instead of ripping it at the best quality try 128kbps, we are just human and will not notice the difference at all

As alextan99 said, you can re-encode the MP3 to lower bitrates to reduce the file size

For the list of software can be used, please refer to this thread

Yep! u can reduce mp3 file size by reducing the bitrate. But the quality sure will be reduce Since your mp3 is 8/9mb, i think the bitrate is 196 or higher. u can reduce to 128, the file size should be around 4mb. For the quality, it sure will reduce a bit. But u won't notice any different. If u're audiophiles type, u sure notice a big different

im using swtich.....
