Even if you have the capacity to store hundreds of music files into iPod or Pen / flash drive but do you know with in the same given space you can increase the number of saved songs by just changing only the bit rate a little low. Now the question is what is Bit Rate and how a music file will be affected by changing the bit rate?
Bit rate is the average number of data that one second of video or audio data will consume. It is directly proportional to the quality of sound that the audio file produces. Today most of the mp3 songs we play generally decoded in 128 kb/s; though some files may also have a bit rate of 256kb/s. Here the more the Bit rate means larger the file size. As i have already said that it is directly proportional to the sound quality but by reducing this depth to only 96kb/s you can save a lot of space and sound quality is almost same as the original one i.e very negligible difference.
Now how it can be done? Though there are a lot of softwares already available over the web but one which I have found very effective and freely available is Switch. This small application not only change the bit rate of any file but can also convert wav, mp3, ogg, flac, aac, wma, au, aiff, ogg, msv, dvf, vox, atrac, gsm, dss and many other formats. Using this you can not only convert or modify the Music files bit rate or extension but it can also be used to creating ringtones, sound file for presentation and converting the song for listening in the portable audio device.
