Tips for Compressing Your Music Files

Compressing music files can be a game-changer for musicians and audiophiles alike. Here are some expert tips to ensure your music retains its quality while being efficiently compressed:

• Choose the Right Codec: Opt for codecs like AAC or OGG, which offer better compression without significant loss in audio quality.
• Adjust Bitrate: Lower the bitrate to around 128 kbps for a good balance between file size and sound quality, but avoid going below 96 kbps.
• Use Variable Bitrate (VBR): VBR adjusts the bitrate according to the complexity of the audio, providing better quality at a smaller file size compared to Constant Bitrate (CBR).
• Trim Silence: Remove any unnecessary silence at the beginning or end of tracks to reduce file size without affecting the music.
• Normalize Audio Levels: Ensure consistent volume levels across your tracks to avoid spikes that can increase file size unnecessarily.
