does the job ^-^

sounds good

Yeah dBPowerAmp music converter works very good! I use it to lower the bitrate of mp3 files (to 128 kbps) so they take less space on my mp3 player . It's also a very good piece of software to rip from cd's.

now to convert all my GWAR songs to 128 kb/s

I might even convert my whole music collection from my beloved 320kbps (or higher i'm an audiophile) to fit on my zen micro.


Does playing songs of a higher bitrate drain the battery faster? i remember the zen micro boasting a 12 hour battery but i swear its not lasted that long for me

Can I convert my MP3 collection to the Ogg Vorbis format?

    You can convert any audio format to Ogg Vorbis. However, converting from one lossy format, like MP3, to another lossy format, like Vorbis, is generally a bad idea. Both MP3 and Vorbis encoders achieve high compression ratios by throwing away parts of the audio waveform that you probably won't hear. However, the MP3 and Vorbis codecs are very different, so they each will throw away different parts of the audio, although there certainly is some overlap. Converting a MP3 to Vorbis involves decoding the MP3 file back to an uncompressed format, like WAV, and recompressing it using the Ogg Vorbis encoder. The decoded MP3 will be missing the parts of the original audio that the MP3 encoder chose to discard. The Ogg Vorbis encoder will then discard other audio components when it compresses the data. At best, the result will be an Ogg file that sounds the same as your original MP3, but it is most likely that the resulting file will sound worse than your original MP3. In no case will you get a file that sounds better than the original MP3.

    Since many music players can play both MP3 and Ogg files, there is no reason that you should have to switch all of your files to one format or the other. If you like Ogg Vorbis, then we would encourage you to use it when you encode from original, lossless audio sources (like CDs). When encoding from originals, you will find that you can make Ogg files that are smaller or of better quality (or both) than your MP3s.

    (If you must absolutely must convert from MP3 to Ogg, there are several conversion scripts available on Freshmeat.)
