    hi /g/, stupid female here with limited/insufficient knowledge of how the fuck archiving and .RAR files work. does anyone have the patience to tell me in layman's terms roughly how it works and how small I can compress the files. I'm using WinRAR and I tried to compress a 26.2 GB .mp3 file, and all it did was make it 23.9 GBs. Am I doing it horribly wrong or is that all it's meant to do? when I try to archive it on 'store' it stays exactly the same fucking size.

    what I want to be able to do ultimately, is download music, compress it, and send it to a friend of mine who for some ungodly reason is still on dialup.

    sooo ITT a rough explanation of how archiving works, what I'm doing incorrectly, or how I can get these files to be smaller, if it's possible.

    in return KC Green?

    MP3 is already a compressed format, along with jpg, mpg and many others. It won't compress that much.
    Think of it this way: the original .wav is uncompressed, mp3 is a compressed version of it (mp3 = lossy format, and rarring is not lossy, but point remains).

    For general purposes there is "no way" and no need to have it compress any more, it would be more trouble than it is worth.

    OK, since no one will answer your clearly, I will. MP3s are already highly compressed using a compression algorithm. It does not help to compress already-compressed data, since there is no theoretical way you can encode the compressed data (without resorting to multi-pass systems). That's why when you compress a wav file, it will compress very well, but not so with an mp3. Same with a bitmap, it will compress very well, but not a jpeg.

    FUCK! right, yeah MB. I was trying to clear a little more space on my hard drive just before this, so I'm still thinking in terms of GB.
    my acer laptop only has like 70something fucking GB worth of hard drive and only 4.2 of that is free space, my apple has 232Gb (weird number, I know) and only about a third of it is taken up. I've been meaning to get an external hard drive for fucking months but I can never decide on which one, how many GB, what brand etc.

    semi-valid points, but in a grocery store in a live conversation, the employee would be able to see that you're male and that would influence his/her response depending on the gender. don't try and tell me it wouldn't. people tend to assume I'm male when I post, and tend to be more derisive of my lack of mad computer skillz til they find out I'm female. call it being manipulative or whatever, it's the internet, who the fuck am I going to impress?

    Adding to these, the "store" option is just what it says, it just stores the files and does not actually compress them, just puts them in to a container so you can have 1 file instead of 10.

    Naturally it's worth nothing to store a single file, if you don't want to encrypt it or something.

    op, don't bother lowering the bitrate that's just going to screw up the quality.

    i suggest making a split rar. split it into 6 will give you 6x4mb chunks. your friend can then reassemble them with winrar.
