My Guide to Compressing Song Files on iTunes

This is my step-by-step guide to compressing song files on iTunes. It really helps when you have 1000+ songs on your iTunes; I have about 1100 songs on mine, but not all of them are uploaded on my iPod. With my old 2GB iPod Nano, I could fit only about 200 songs on my iPod. When I compressed most of them, I was able to fit about 360-400 songs. This video is really helpful, especially if you're not too tech-savvy.

spikethegoth89: "kbps means kilobytes per second. more kilobytes better quality, 128 is usually the standed its not near cd quality its ok though, 192 kbps in mp3 format is a noticable difference in quality without having to use much more space.

to get the highest possible quality you usally have to convert to WAV files but this takes up much more disc space, wav files take up 10 mb's per minute of music, mp3 files (in 192 kbps form) take only 2-3 mbs per minute with nearly the same quality."

@gge0613 You don't have to know what it stands for genius. You just have to know what to click to make it work. Moron. -_-

@spikethegoth89 Thank you. I will post your comment in the description for others.

Do the songs have to be from a cd/purchased from iTunes to be able to do this?

[servantlol]

@er1kk1 I think that the songs have to be in your iTunes media folder in your music docs. I haven't tried it with music dowloaded from the Internet, but as long as it's in the iTunes music/media folder, it should work.

@servantlol thanks so much!

@sexierthanu You probably didn't set it the right way. There's a quicker way to do this: when you sync your iPod, look on the screen that tells you how much music, photos, etc is taking up space on your iPod. There, you should find an option that allows you to convert the bit rate to 128 for ALL songs. Click that option, re-sync your iPod, and you're done!
