I am looking for an app that shrink (re-size) mp3 files. I have a lot of files and I would like to re-size them.
I know I may loose some quality, but it is fine. Note: I do not want to trim the audio file.
Can anyone refer to me an app? (Free is preferred)
download format factory
http://www.formatoz.com/
then convert the file to low quality . that will compress the songs and keep the sound quality intact.
I am looking for an android app, not a PC app.

I have an XDA 1 and have been trying to copy CDs to it to use as an MP3 player. U used Windows Media Player to convert the CD but when I try to get it to copy to the XDA it says 'System Path not found'. I don't really understand the software or how I'm meant to do it. Can anyone help please? Thanks v much.
cant you just sync the files to the xda ?
or open activesync and choose explore and copy them to it`?
Are the files on the CD in mp3 format? if so, just copy them. (you can also adjust bitrate with SoundForge to reduce the size)
If you want to copy an AudioCD, in explorer (like Total Commander) you will only see links. Than it would take a little time to rip the CD... :twisted:
Easiest method is to copy the files to an SD card and plug that in to the XDA, but I would use WMA rather than MP3.
WMA files tend to be about 1/2 the size of MP3 and the only problem that I have found is that they fail to accurately reproduce low volume, low frequency complex sound (try the intro to most early Metallica or Motorhead tracks - it is reproduced as a warbling sound).
hi,
just downloaded a free software application for Mac osx., called handbrake.
i know there are proper programs out there that do this but this is free and easy to use.
what it does is crops and converts your dvds to a small file either mpeg4 or avi.
you can crop it to 320x240 and adjust the sound quality and set it for maximum mb so it fits on your sd card just right.
the files play back using the camera program.
here is the link http://handbrake.m0k.org/download.php

Thank you very much in advance.
Hi Baloo,
Ok, let's do it step by step:
1) CD to SD:
For this you can use Audiograbber, which gets the audio tracks from your CDs (as long as your CDs aren't copy protected, otherwise you'll might run into troubles) on your PC and converts them into MP3 tracks. These MP3s you can put onto your SD card (using a card reader or via cable).
2) Watching films on your device:
Normally all PocketPCs come with windows media player, which can be used to view videos too. As I personally dislike WMP, I use BetaPlayer, which is a very nice video player and is able to play AC3, MP4, AVI films and also MP3 audio files.
3) Music as ringtones:
After having done the steps mentioned in 1), you should be able to use your MP3 files as ringtones too. I'm using the term "should be", because this depends on the capabilities and settings of your PocketPC (normally it should work, but there are some users who reportet problems - for more information just use the search function of this forum). As an alternative you also can use WAV files (they also can be made with Audigrabber) as ringtones, but they are about ten times larger in file size.
Just a little further note:
When using MP3s or WAVs as ringtones, you should place them on the internal memory of your device, because otherwise they may not be played (SD cards need some time to be activated when the PocketPC returns from sleep mode).
As a complete MP3 music file normally is about 4 MB of size (which is a lot), you should edit the MP3 you want to use and shorten it to about 20 seconds (look here, too). With this, you keep your memory and have your personal ring tone too
For more informations, just use the search function of this forum.

Does anyone know of a software that will allow the compression of music files from the device, without having to connect to PC? I have files 3-4 MB a piece, and I would like to get them down to about 1-2 MB, so I can store more music than I have. Thanks in advance.
Wrong section to post in.. but you would have to re-encode your files. The music you speak of is already compressed (mp3s/aac/whatever codec your music is stored in), so what you are asking for (two fold decrease)really is not possible unless you are willing to take a quality hit (by lowering the bitrate), but lets just say re encoding an already compressed format is not a good idea(lowering the bitrate at the same time would be a double wammy), unless you want your music to sound likes its coming from a tin can... Either way you would have to copy to your PC.
I meant lowering the bitrate, still the same enroding all mp3 codec. Ah, I guess I'll just do it before transferring to memory card, but sometimes I download from the mobile browser, and that's an extra step.
Hi guys,
just got a HP touchpad. now is there a video player on here? and if its there what format do they have to be in to view it. have tried a couple of different ones and cant get them up.
Is there a player app i can download onto it at all ?
thanks
there is a photos & videos app built in, but it's pretty poor for video.
you need to add your video files to the root of the built in storage (the tablet installs onto your computer as a removable drive).
i still haven't got my head around the video file support just yet, but it doesn't seem to handle .avi, divx, xvid etc.
mp4 seems to be the main format.
there are a couple of apps for streaming videos from a upnp media server, but nothing free as far as i can tell.
kalemsoft media player seems to be the best of these as it lets you load video files from the local storage on your tablet as well as browse for remote stuff.
i have successfully played an avi file using this app.
i've only tried the demo version so far which requires internet access in order to assess the trial period.
i don't particularly want to purchase the paid version just yet.
I used Handbrake and followed the instructions here: http://forums.precentral.net/hp-tou...n-resources/287212-handbrake-preset-dvds.html I just tried a short 45 minute kids dvd to see if it would work okay. It was about a 400mb file. Placed it in a folder called Videos on the root of the usb partition and it shows up fine in the Photos and Videos app.

see i tried doing that as well. creating a folder called videos on the root and it wasn't detected.
only when i added the file direct to root could i access it.
are directory names case sensitive?
a video player that allows you to browse and/or add directories would be much better.
EDIT: looks like i had a folder called video. changed it to videos and it shows up.
strangely enough kalemsoft creates a folder recordings. when i added a video file to that, it also showed up.
I have put my videos in the download folder and they show up in the stock player fine. Also converted DIVX avi files to MP4 with Handbrake. Used the ipad HD settings for nice quality.
Kalemsoft Media Player wil read a lot of video formats , you can find it on app catalog.
The kalemsof that i downloaded isnt displaying in full screen and sometimes will hang on my TP. Guess its still not compatible to TP yet?

Thanx for the tip about Handbrake, nunja. I'll try it for conversions. I concur with the settings...
I'm on a Pre 2 and have no problems with mp4 playing (once you get the settings down it becomes rote). For my phone I use iPod settings...
For ripping from DVD I use DVDFab3 - I know there are way newer versions out there and I tried them but always go back to version 3. I just like the UI and it has never let me down. Point it at a DVD or ISO and under Mobile click Generic. You can configure it for generic mp4 and get a resolution up to 848x480 which should be alright on the TP screen. Your settings like Resolution, bitrate, volume level, subpicture - can all be saved as a profile.
DVDFab3 in a .rar file. Just extract and it will run out of the folder without install...
