There's a program called diet mp3 that compresses it further i think. This message was posted from a T68i

I use WMA (microsoft Windows Media Audio) 64kbit files instead of 129kbit file MP3. I find, especially on devices like ipaq when listened to through headphones, that the quality is about the same but they take up much less space.

Now... if only P800 could play WMA!

Well, I compress MP3s to 64Kbps Mono, The sound quality is super, There is a small difference between it and the original track, But you save much space, and the speaker of the P800 is perfect in playing such files.

anas,

Which program do you use to reduce the kbps in mp3's?

i use Cool Edit to drop the bitrate from 192kbps to 40kbps, 22050Hz, stereo. file size ranges from 800kB-1.6MB from what used to be 3MB-5MB.

it's not compression.

you dont really need a high fidelity sound, coz you're only playing it from the earphone or from the loudspeaker. as long as it's 22050Hz, stereo, the sound is as good whether the bitrate is at 40kbps or 192kbps (that is at those kinds of outputs, i.e. earphones). if you go 11025Hz, i notice that the audio starts to garble and there is a very noticeable distortion present.
so for me, the smallest-sized mp3 is of 40kbps, 22050Hz, stereo.

and in addition, if you happen to have the HPM-10 MP3 player from Ericsson, it came with a licensed MusicMatch that allows you to change bitrates. but i concur with ferrarista, 22kHz is the absolute minimum for me.
