RE: A conversion question:
Kevin, I am thinking of writing a small program which would calculate the size of lossy non-lossy conversions. Do you imagine people would find this of any use. I tend to work it out in my head, but it sould be nice to have a program which did it for you.

Re: A conversion question:
No, but Neither will it be reconvertable without accumulating damage. 4 minutes might come out to 10 megs, which might be somewhere between a third and a quarter. This is a rough estimate. Hope this helps. - Original Message - From: albert griffith To: 'PC Audio Discussion List' Sent: Saturday, October 06, 2007 12:49 AM Subject: A conversion question: If I convert a standard file on a CD to 320KBPs MP3 format, will it be approximately the same size as the original? thanks Audio List Help, Guidelines, Archives and more... http://www.pc-audio.org To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- No virus found in this incoming message.

Re: A conversion question:
No, far less of a size than the original, same applies to all compression but if you're going to use 320KBPS then in my view you're wasting your time, may as well use one of the lossless formats such as FLAC as the difference in file size won't be all that much and you you'll be keeping the original sound of your file.

Re: A conversion question:
An uncompressed lossless track from an audio CD is approximately 3 times larger than it's MP3 equivalent encoded at 320 kbps. Typically, the uncompressed track would be around the 30 meg mark for a 5 minute track whereas the MP3 equivalent would be around the 10 meg mark. If you're ripping in a compressed lossy format like MP3 then you'd probably be better to use variable bitrate rather than constant. Regards.
