AFAIK the best compression on mp3 files is rar. gzip and bzip2 fail to compare to how much space you can save. (the half a megabyte that is)

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.

Like you should tar+gzip those songs and email them to razorm@gmail.com iago! I have to put together a presentation with a target audience in the same age group.
Just use Limewire.  I found them all with ease.

By design, MP3's already have really high ... bah, what's that word for randomness?  Entropy?  Something like that.  Anyway, they don't have very many patterns to exploit so compression won't do much at all to them.

So? You can still shave off half a meg or so. :)

For the sake of iago I was going with something Linux natively supports. Wouldn't want him to have to go out of his way but if he won't send me the music anyways bleh @ him! :(

If you wanted to go all out, you could reencode all of the mp3s in a variable bitrate format that supports higher compression :-P

Uhh, winRAR works on Linux.

Code: [Select]
rar a -r -m5 forzorm.rar ./path/to/mp3s

Thats something Linux distros normally ship with? Cause on the winRAR site is says its not free... so yeah I doubt iago is using winRAR.

Linux doesn't natively support any file compression.  however gzip, bzip2, and infozip (which uses .zip format) generally ship by default.  You shouldn't mix those up! :P

Erm, I was thinking correctly but only stated it correctly in my previous post when mentions linux, distros and shipping normally.

You didn't say ships with, you said "natively supports".

You lose.
