Mp3 Player With .zip Support

[KickinWing]

Is there an mp3 player available for GP32 that can support zipped mp3s?

 

[sam fisher]

well mp3's are already compressed as far as they can be so zipping them will make no difference really.

If you want them to take up considerable less space, convert them into .ogg.

Yeah I'd go with OGG as well
the player for it is great

What bitrate and frequency should I use when encoding in OGG?

 

[TeDaDeS]

I guess that putting multiple files in 1 zip would result in some free space on your SMC. That might create memory related problems.

I´m using 80kbps/36000Hz, sounds as good as a 128kbps .mp3 .

Use dbpoweramp, it converts anything to anything, and has updated codecs, and will even name files ripped from cds.

There is a newer release, r11, but it only gives 1 month of mp3 encoding, and that is the only update.

Also will need this

Also, I like gpamp2 for playing ogg files on the gp, as it uses winamp classic skins, so it looks sweet. Get it here

Have fun, ogg is awesome.

Thanks, yeah, I have dbPowerAmp already and the Ogg codec, but I never really took the time to look into the format or understand it. I've just been using Omega5's MP3_WMA player and encoding 64kbps WMA files, which works pretty nicely.

But I'm definitely going to look further into Ogg to see if I should make the switch.
