0 Ascariss Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 best to just move over the mp3s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 navsimpson Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 I'm guessing you're trying to save battery life, and I suppose transferring at 352 is the best you can do. Still, you're right - the audio quality of those files will be dropping. As Ascariss says, your best bet is to either just transfer them as MP3s or rip in ATRAC.

If you already have MP3s, just keep them in MP3s. With 352kbps, you probably won't be saving much battery life either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
