I know that graphics such as gif, bmp, and jpg are different sized files. I've opened up files in paint and saved as a smaller file before to use up less disk space. Is there a way to do that with sound files?

I'd appreciate any information.

Thanks bunches!

yes resample at a lower rate, consider sampling as mono.
You may be able to restrict the file size further by carefull choice of the file type - some storgae formats are leaner than others.

In effect its is exactly like storing an image, you can adjust the file type (blocky graphics work well in GIF & PNG, photos work well in JPEG & PNG), you cab adjust the qulatiy threshild in the JPEG & PNG to contorl how images are samepled & stored). And exactly like adjustign the quality, adjusting the sampling down bins information from the file, nor does adjusting up recreate more information.

We are really low tech at our house. I was hoping that there was something that could be done with the windows media player. I just wanted to add a sound file to my MSN Space. I found a smaller file to use just a little while ago.

Thank you very much for your advice!
