MP3 Degrader?
« on: December 08, 2005, 07:40:34 pm »
Yeah! I've got this 16MB MP3 player / watch (from the company that brought you the USB coffee warmer), and I want to put Jesus music on it for in study hall. Of course, Jesus music is high quality, and thus I can't fit too much. =(

Please help.
I'd personally do as Joe suggests

You might be right about that, Joe.

Convert to wave. Convert back to mp3.

EDIT -- Don't even need to do that!

I'd bet that you're currently bloated like a water ballon on a hot summer's day.

That analogy doesn't even make sense.  Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.

16MB? Jesus, you plan on sticking music on that thing? You'd be better off bringing a CD player.

EDIT -- Removed comment about my penis, seeing as how it was worded to make it seem like I had a small penis. I guess I should think clever slogans through.

I'm pretty sure it does, although I'm hesitant to tell you to google "lame windows" for obvious reasons.  :P

16MB? Jesus Christ, that couldn't hold my dick.
That's only because it doesn't protrude enough to dangle and touch the bottom.  It'd be like trying to fill a thimble with your dick -- we're just trying to fill too much with too little.

Yeah, Lame could definitely do the job well.  I don't know or care if it has a Windows version, check Google.

I used winlame. It worked nice. I just used lame now... I can fit about 18 songs on my shitty 64 mb mp3 player.
Who gives a damn? I fuck sheep all the time.
And yes, male both ends.  There are a couple lesbians that need a two-ended dildo...My router just refuses to wear a strap-on.

So on 16, you might get 4.  Unless you encode them at like, 16kbps or something, so they only actually have like 4 tones. :)

I ripped an entire Ludacris album to about 14MB. The loss of quality was noticable, but it wasn't horrible.

I've gone as low a 96 kbps without realizing much of a difference, any lower sounds like poopie :P

Yeah, but in order for quality loss to matter much you need to try it with actual music.

LOL.

I love your personal text, "banned".

Anyhow, I've got 8 Jesus songs (plus Simple Plan - Untitled), encoded at 96kbps.

EDIT -
Untitled pushed it over the edge a tiny bit. I've got 944kb left! Mad skills.
