how do you encode yours? :p

[THE PROPHETOR!]

hello people....

i was just wondering... what do you personally think is the best quality/smallist to encode MP3's and MPEG's into?

I find it really hard to judge which is more important:

good quality sound on your ppc?

or

Small size....so it doesn't waste a lot of memory

any idea?

thanks

I've found the sound quality through the headphone to be `not that bad`, just wish they'd stop falling out! I convert all my audio into Windows Media Audio Format (WMA) I find the sound quailty at lower bit rates to be better than MP3 (it's only an opinion).

so I'd say for MP3 go for a bit rate of 96kbps.
and for WMA go for 64kbps.

You can download a small utility from Microsoft called Audio Converter, this gives you options as to what bit rate the converted file will be regardless of the original. Watch out though, if the original was poor quailty, it could make it worse.

Hope that helps.
