converting sets from WAV to mp3
View this Thread in Original format

greeting fellow deejhays..
ok so far when I record it is set as a WAV file on my computer, and as you can imagine that takes up a substantial amount of space after a while. Can anyone help me find a way of getting a program to convert to mp3 as to make the file smaller? And also, if i was to do this, how much would this affect the sound quality, would it be noticeable?
cheers in advance,

winlame, encode in 320 kbps and "no-one" will notice

yeah 320 kbps mp3 will be fine...
Mr.Mystery
Any program will do as long as it uses LAME.

just import the file to audacity and export as an mp3

The answer is: don't, I mean, its definitely something lost, and you'll never be able to get it back if you delete the original wav. If you wanna save space but not lose any data try encoding it in flac, you get file sizes 30% smaller but mathematically lossless (so convert it back and its the exact same thing).

320 kbps is more than acceptable to the majority of people.

If I was you I'd at least burn the WAV on to a CD, though.

to make sure u loose everything first convert it to wma in windows media player then import it to itunes. itunes dont support wma and will convert it to mp3. there u go, good luck finding the file again.
