How to Reduce mp3 file size?

warriorgo · 09-26-2008, 01:52 AM

Hi,

Had done recordings using Audacity and exported as mp3. The file size for a 15 min audio is 15megs.

I had seen elsewhere that 45 mins mp3 actually has smaller file size (can't remember but something like 5 megs or something).

It is tricky. But how do you reduce the mp3 size (audio quality isn't a problem because my recordings are all speech)?

Thanks!

Unzip the file, Install the simple software, run your mp3 through it at the default settings.

Make sure to change the name of your output file so it does not overwrite your master if the master is in .mp3 format.

Personally I like to start with a hq wav file as my master.

Anyway this solution will give you nice compression fast and its 100% free not trialware.
