I complained earlier about my 8GB ipod not having enough space on it, but I've realised why that is now.

I need help for this though. On my old Windows XP, Itunes files are in M-PEG4 Audio File and for my new Vista Laptop, CDs are converted to AAC files.

AAC files seem to take up a lot more space. For example, an MPEG4 file of D'you Know What I Mean takes up 7MB, whereas in AAC it takes up 15MB.

I really want to convert AAC to a smaller capacity file, but not MP3 because that's not great quality. Help would be greatly appreciated!

BTW that link won't show you how to convert them, it will show you how to set up your import settings in iTunes so that the files aren't so big when you rip a cd.

When you installed iTunes on your new laptop, the default settings have obviously been at a different setting to what you had on your old one for importing, nothing to do with XP or Vista.

themasterplanet: A Northern Soul by The Verve! My second favourite album by them. I love the atmosphere of it, it’s very dreamy and melancholic and dark. It holds many memories for me and I think that’s partly responsible for why I love it so much. Sept 6, 2024 18:57:34 GMT -5

Bring It On Dan: I have so much shit on an old hard drive somewhere but I just cannot find it. Nothing 'out there' but probably 200 gigs or so. I can't remember the name of the site that had all the gigs listed and sources for loads of gigs next to it? I remember RKID 003. Sept 24, 2024 17:34:46 GMT -5

mimmihopps: Bring It On Dan, it must be sadsong.net. I don't know if the site still exists. Sept 25, 2024 7:20:44 GMT -5

gottabecrazy: RKID003 was a great resource, they shared a lot there there really. I wish something similar could be up again. Sept 25, 2024 17:50:23 GMT -5

RUBIKON: I'm gonna restart the Oasis MP3 Archive is anyone's intersted in helping? I ran it in 2000 to 2002 and was a great site. Used to use mIRC to get all the boots. I'll build the site, just need links to one drives and files. PM me if you fancy helping out Sept 29, 2024 8:31:27 GMT -5
