Hi ALL!
I'm very very close to getting my K700 . Before getting it, I just wanted to know about the Mp3 Thingy. I know that it will take up, quite a bit of space on my k700i (TO BE!!), and I was reading about how some of you guys convert it. What is the best format to convert it too, and what program will i need to download.

Thanks a lot Guys!!

P.S. If there is a program, only if it is possible, can you give me a link

Hi,
well grab your K 700i ASAP..but see that you get the latest version of the software..R2L..
Allright..The best MP3 Converter I am using and have been using for the last 4 years in all its avtars is dbpower amp converter...
Its the best and fastest...
To keep the quality CD like and low on size encoded files to 128 Kbps Bitrate with 44 Khz FQ...For example take the song " Sing for the moment- Eminem which is approx 5 min 41 Seconds it takes size of 5,339 kb ie. 5.3 MB on the phone..The 128 Kbps coverts the song in such a way that each minute become a MB...
Good luck then..!

@ tommac
I'm sure you mean MP3! MP4 is a video format & dbpoweramp doesn't do video

Anyway I agree dbpoweramp is the easiest little converter & it's free but I also use SoundForge 6 as it can do much more & encodes the files to a better quality even at the same settings.

With regard to best setting just play with the bitrate to increase/decrease quality & file size. Then more advanced try variable bit rates.

@MikLSP
i'm sure he meant MP4. i'm using mp4, too. you know mp4 has audio encoding as well.

anyway, I convert lots of my mp3 files to mp4 with Cool Edit 2.0
I set the bitrate into 48kbps, 22kHz. It's still very nice to hear with the headset and its size is thrice smaller than the original mp3 files.

Mp4 is the right choice. I also use dbpoweramp for the conversion :-) This message was posted from a K700i

I didn't know MP4 was an audio format too! Would it not associate with the phones video player though instead of music?

Also where is this option on dbpoweramp? Mine just shows WAV, Test encode and MP3 Lame.
And what does the Lame thing mean?

Lame is the mp3 codec. You need to download the mp4 codec, I'll upload it to my site:
www.madleofan.force9.co.uk
and the codecs will be listed under the parent directory.
