 |
|
I will be the first to admit that I am a dunce when it comes to handling
audio files on my laptop. Here is my question. I have a 25 mb MP3 file
recorded at 48.1 that the producer wants me to e-mail to him. My ISP has a
maximum 20 mb limit on files to be uploaded. Is it possible to compress the
file to something under 20 mb after it has been recorded? If so how do I do
it and will the producer be able to decompress it on the other end without
difficulty? Any advice is greatly appreciated.

I either upload audio files to my own iDisk or to my clients server
via ftp... I wouldn't trust on public severs.

You can use win rar, www.win-rar.com
Stuff It or another archiving tool to compress your file. It may get
below 20mb. Then the file can be extracted to it's original size on
the other end. There are a wide variety of common tools for this.
( stuff it, Win Rar, .WinZip...)_..
You can also bring the file into a audio editing program and further
reduce the mp3's bitrate. If it is recorded at 320kbps reduce it to
192kbps. Then you simply export it under a new filename, ( However you
want, but keep the original.)
Ftp, and yousendit.com also work great. Only issue with yousendit.com
is that I believe the recipient has to start a free account.

web hosting services are very cheap nowaday (1Gb for less than $30/
year aprox), so having your own repository (better then with your own
domain name) is quite pretty

ditto, I use yousendit.com all the time. Easiest way to send large
files. Basic service is free and you can pay for additional services
(allowing even larger file sizes, or batch files, etc).

I've been using yousendit.com for years now and there has not been a single
instance of someone not getting the files. You can also pay a fee if you
wish on yousendit for the file to be password protected/secure and also for
certified delivery with tracking. It's absolutely a simple service to use
and much easier that wading through someone else's FTP site. |

OK, but paying for a private server is not...

For those of you who regularly need to share large audio or video
files securely among a group, I suggest http://spinxpress.com/
Downsides: all must download the program. It's p2p-based, so the
sender's computer must be on and SpinXpress open in order to share
files and add new members.
That said, it's a great tool for folks who regularly collaborate on
audio and video works.

I formally used files-upload.com (free) which allowed up to 1GB via
FTP upload. Download was via normal browser. Unfortunately they are no
longer in existence, as least the way it was. Now i use
yousendit.com.. Free for files less than100MB. |
