seanzarelli Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 Only way to compress the songs is to lower the quality of your songs. I have a 30GB iPod and have about 5000+ songs, but that's because when I download my music or take them off CD's, I re-encode them to 128kbs quality. If this is something you want to do, I recommend downloading a program called Sharepod, which allows you to take songs off your iPod and put them back onto your CPU, and it keeps all of the song info already stored on the iPod. And then the program dbPowerAmp to re-encode all the songs that you want to drop down file sizes with. For both programs, just Google it and they should be the first results in the search.

Bama Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 PodUtil is better. But when I want to backup music without decreasing quality, i burn them as audio files to a Double-Later DVD.

The_Jerk Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 Convert them to AAC in iTunes. The quality is just as good and they usually end up 50-75% the size of the original mp3. I saved almost 5 gigs compressing all my stuff. Link to comment https://www.mvpmods.com/forums/topic/22437-itunes-question/#findComment-279610 Share on other sites More sharing options...
