Reducing The Size Of An Mp3 To Fit Onto Cd 700Mb

WaheGuru Ji Ka Khalsa, WaheGuru Ji Ke Fateh!

I am hoping someone can help with a few queries I have please.

1) Some of the Kirtan\Katha MP3's are quite large in size and these cannot fit onto the 700Mb cd rom. Is there some way the size of the MP3 can be reduced any further? I have read reviews on cdroms that are 800mb and the majority of people have said that they are actually 700mb rather than 800mb.

2) Is there any software available that allows you to edit a track so that you can take certain parts out of it? For example there maybe some Simran in the shabad, does any software allow you to take just that part out and save it?

Hope the above makes sense, ahve tried as best as possible to describe what I am after.

Appreciate any help\advice.

Many Thanks

Pull chuk Maaf. :waheguru:

Brother, are you looking to make an audio CD or an MP3 CD?

I had a similar problem whereby I wanted to record Giani Sant Singh Maskin's Sukhmani Sahib to an audio CD, but the duration of the paath and the size of the file would not be accepted. So I increased the tempo of the file - but not in a way that distorted the Gurbani or made it sound strange or disrespectful. Anyway I managed to reach a file-size that was fine for a 120 min / 700MB CD.

MP3s can be encoded at various bit rates. Smaller this is, the smaller the file size but also lower the quality. I haven't done any converting MP3s in ages but when I used to, I normally encoded my MP3s at 128kbps using DB Power Amp. To me, this sounds just fine.

To give you an idea of file size... I've got here a 1hour 25min Asa Dee Vaar Kirtan MP3 which is encoded at 128kbps and its file size is 78MB.

Maybe others could recommend some free software to let you convert it.

WaheGuru Thanks for replying. Which ever one allows me to fit the shabad onto the CD. There are a couple shabads from various Rensbhais that are around120 mins each. It would be great if I could somehow get these onto a CD please. Any further advice etc anyone can advice would be greatly appreaciated.

Oh I understand. In that case its best to undertake Mokham Singh's advice and reduce the bit rate to a level that you are comfortable with. I can't think of any free conversion software that does what you need although I'm definitely sure there are programs available. I'll look around and get back to you.

    • If relationship with Guru is strong, then kanga is done twice a day, and turban should never be taken off or put on like a hat, there is a lot wrong with that as it is against rehit! maryada is to take off every layer of turban/pagh/dumalla individually, and tie fresh turban each time!
    • the whole 'your husband/wife is chosen for you'/sanjog thing is real, it's just that a lot of people end up marrying the wrong person. they did not end up with the person that was meant for them. my friend, you should marry someone who you feel a connection with and love. there are millions of sikh girls, i'm sure you can find someone who aligns with your sensibilities and who you can truthfully say that you love. sikhi does not say anything against love marriages. you can also be in a loveless arranged marriage which is a safe option b/c both families are more inclined to keep the union intact. i was one of those people who was like meh, i guess i'll just get arranged to some sikh. well i finally started dating for the first time this year and i'm getting married to someone that i love and cannot even imagine leaving. i think it's better to have lost & lost than never loved at all. unfortunately, a lot of people confuse love w/ looks & lust. a lot of men go for the fittest girl they can find and think they won the jackpot or something. in reality, your partner should be like an extremely loved best friend. there's a reason why it's a fact that the most stable and long-lasting relationships started as friendships.  i also think a lot of women are petty and divorce over small reasons, but there's other terrible things like high cheating rates as well. that's why the divorce rate in the west is high. be careful out there.
    • andrew tate praises sikhi too & likes sikhs. his brother also donated to sikh families iirc. they just like any "alpha" religion and tbh islam is the most "alpha" in their eyes. islam is very good at promoting that image. but imo a real alpha man doesn't command respect by beating up his wive(s) or forcing them to wear a burqa. a real man will have his woman listen to him w/o raising a hand or his voice, and command respect by being respectful. he leads by example and integrity. that's true masculinity. you get the idea. + yes, it's definitely true that islam is growing rapidly and making massive inroads. strength in numbers + belief will do that. but rlly it's just because of the birth rate. a lot of them are muslim b/c it's their "identity" just like how a lot of young sikhs will say they're "culturally sikh" or whatever. there just aren't billions of sikhs who lambast their identity everywhere and have strict and linear rules like in islam. besides, the reality is that islam and its followers are some of the most morally bankrupt. you can see all the weird trans rules in iran, bacche baazi in afghanistan, visiting brothels, watching p*rn, p*dophilia what goes on behind the scenes in countries like uae & qatar, etc, and come to your conclusions. you can google all the stats yourself and see which countries do the most of these ^.   
    • stop associating with hinduism, that's the absolutely worst thing you can do as a sikh. not sure if you noticed but the entire world looks down upon and spits at india & hindus, literally no one respects them and considers them weak and cowardly. literally 1+ billion of them but not perceived as a strong religion commandeering respect. 
    • you wrote a whole lot but told us nothing. what exactly did you do wrong to make you feel this way?
