Ipod Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 i have the LG 8300 and i use MP3 format.. the more bitrate (sp?), the bigger the file, the better quality (i think, correct me if im wrong).

AlpineGuy87 Posted January 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 (edited) By Default iTunes has 3 levels of MP3 bit rate. 128 kbps 160 kbps 192 kbps BUT, using custom settings you can go as high as 224 kbps 256 kbps 320 kbps My question is, if I convert my iTunes library from ACC to MP3 which MP3 bit rate should i use so that i'm keeping rouhgly the SAME QUALITY and keeping roughly the SAME FILE SIZE? Is the MP3 (320 kbps) still less quality and less file size than ACC? Edited January 25, 2008 by AlpineGuy87 Quote 06 SCION tC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ipod Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 (edited) as far as bit rates goes. mine ranges from 92 to 300+. but the majority of my songs are about 192 averaged. edit: as far as ACC goes, i never really used it so im not sure how they work as in file size compared to quality of the song.

AlpineGuy87 Posted January 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 yea, i'm about to select MP3 as my auto Encoder for importing CDs. I just looked up this info... Based upon a test... "128kps ACC was equivalent to an 192kps MP3." Quote 06 SCION tC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torres Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 yeah 192 is the average of what most songs i download are. that's a good one to go with imo. if you wanted...convert one to 192, and some higher, remember which song is which and compare. tho i'm sure you'll be satisfied with 192.

I'm just wondering, i want to keep all my formats the same but my cell phone really doesnt need high quality so i dont want them at TOO high quality, i'd rather have average and save space.. idk.. lol.. I have 4GB of storage and 4GB of music on my itunes library.. but i'm not using even half my library just my popular/favorite songs you know.. so i can go with high quality So should i just leave it at 128 kbps ACC? or should i knock it to MP3 192? i mean they are about the same quality, so which is going to take up less space?
