MP 3 ?

[Banger]

I have an option to have it installed or not.

What exactly does it do? I know its a download music kind of thingy!!

But what does it ACTUALLY do?

I have an old Packard bell at the moment and can download songs alright, i was told it must have a MP3 player in it.
But its 3 years old and i dont know whether it has or not but i can download using winamp or windows media.

So does it make any differece then?

Me too, an idiots guide if you dont mind.

Size of memory = how much music?

File types

software for downloading etc

you know, a real idiots guide (for Banger that is)

if media player plays mp3s then it's one of the later versions & you don't need anything else to play them.

averge cd comes in at about 45MB depends on level of compression used when initially converted to mp3 format. don't bother with anything less than 128kbps & try get 192kbps & above for music files.

downloads? god knows, it's all gone legal these days

Cheeky! But true

Windows media player is free as well.....the latest version (v10) will also rip cd's and DVD's and do some other nice stuff.

The download site for it is http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/download/download.aspx

It'll open up nearly all types of media files- the only ones I've found it won't are fairly obscure video file types, for which I use Ace Megacodecs pack, also free, use google to find it.

Jesus Fvcking Christ what did he just say?

Hempie’s are very small creatures that have the ability to remember a song or tune. But only a tiny bit of it, hence the term bit-rate.

What your computer does is line all the Hempie’s up and makes them scuttle by a speaker playing the song. Each one remembers the tiny bit of the song he hears, female Hempies are deaf so get defragmented by the Central Processor at birth.

Your computer also has a Ram inside it with a very good memory. The Ram remembers the order the Hempies went past the speaker and makes sure they keep in the right order, if they get out of line it butts them back into place. Next the cooling fan in the computer freezes the Hempies.

What you have now is a Hempie Freeze that knows your song. You can save this on your drive (like parking cars on your drive) or stick it in a Hempi Freeze Player.

When you want to hear it again it’s a simple matter of warming the Hempie Freeze up and running the little chaps paste a microphone in your computer or player.

Easy really.

Q. I know that higher bit rates produce better sound quality in MP3 files. What bit rate will yield something close to CD sound quality without taking up vast amounts of hard-drive space?

A. Opinions vary among audiophiles, but many consider the 128 kilobits-per-second bit rate for converting music into the MP3 format to be "CD quality."

The 128-kbps rate generally creates MP3 files that take up one megabyte of space per minute of music. So a CD recording of the allegro movement of "Eine Kleine Nachtmusik" by Mozart lasting 5 minutes and 26 seconds will take up around five megabytes of hard drive space when encoded as an MP3 file at 128 kbps.

A rate of 160 kbps provides better sound quality, but the resulting MP3 file takes up about 1.5 megabytes per minute of music. The 96 kbps rate, described as "near CD quality" by some audio experts, produces an MP3 file that takes up only 700 kilobytes of space per minute of music.






So it's the same old story.......the bigger the better

If they get a computer virus then they're goners, not worth saving

Yeah got the Media 10 so whats the point of the player.

Thanks lads.
