GASHWOUND Posted July 29, 2003 Share Posted July 29, 2003 Is there a way to make my Mp3's smaller or compress them so they take up less room on my hard drive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capn12 Posted July 29, 2003 Share Posted July 29, 2003 AFAIK, Sound files in mp3 form are pretty much compressed down as much as you can, whereas .wav files are huge...but i'm no expert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GASHWOUND Posted July 29, 2003 Author Share Posted July 29, 2003 When you select an audio file or whatever and select properties to see how much space it's taking up there's an option at the bottom by attributes and when you select Advance there's a little check box that gives you a choice to..Compress contents to save disk space. What does that do? and does it compress it? I selected it it turned the words blue as if it was selected.. I did burn a bunch of songs, but don't necessarily want to delete the MP3s and window media files..just maybe store them away.. I don't, guess maybe I'm gonna have to delete some..
