You will make the file larger, but the sound is the same. A good freeware program, that only bothers you with a window requesting that you register the software, is called GoldWave. I think it does a nice job of converting.

I've only found some music I want in Wma format. I've tried a few 30-day conversion software versions to use these on my Archos. But conversion results were troubling. I expected slight conversion loss when changing 128 b/s Wma files to 128 b/s Mp3s, but they were conspicuously degraded. What guidelines have you decided upon as the best tradeoff between size and sound? For instance, do you convert 128 Wma to 128 Mp3 or convert 128 Wma to 160 Mp3? Also, do different conversion software products give different quality audible if operated comparably? How do you convert Wma files? Most Archos users convert formats to Mp3s. Please share your insights. John LoveLearn Received on 2003-10-23 Page template was last modified "Tue Sep 7 00:00:02 2021" The Rockbox Crew -- Privacy Policy |
