Hi all
I have a question. I have a 2GB Memory Stick Pro Duo and I use it with my W700. But it's nearly full and I want to store more songs
I've uploaded all my songs in 192 kbps. My question is... is 160 kbps enough? The quality is (almost) the same? Is there a huge difference between 192 and 160 kbps?
I listen to music with the headset (included in my W700, I don't know the name
)
Thanks in advance

It's better to encode all the songs in variable bitrate, i mean 128kbps variable will sound better than constant 128kbps. this way you will save more songs

I rip most of my songs at 256kbps, cbr. Tried using 320kbps and vbr before, but unfortunately some of the devices I used didn't support them, so I now use 256kbps, cbr as most of the time there's no problem. Quality over quantity.

I think 128kbps is a nice balance between sound quality and file size. One could say that the length of the song turns out to be the size of the file in mb!

aac and m4a are better formats than mp3. most sony ericsson handsets support them.

u can try rm format..though the quality isn't much good..but they occupy onlyone-ifth the space
even mp3 at 128kbps ain't bad on a headset

if you want the SAME quality as cd, you need to use a lossless format. Trouble is a lossless format is about 20-30MB per song. So you use mp3 or aac ripped at a high bitrate, say 256 or 320Kbps. The it's about 8-10MB per song.

Thanks for all your help guys
Now I've decided to convert some of my 192 kbps MP3 files to ACC. Now my question is... at which quality do I have to convert my files so they don't loose it quality? I've heard some saying 144kbps, other 160kbps (in ACC format). And which is the best program to convert MP3 files to ACC files?
Thanks in advance guys
