I have an MP3 I want to send but it's 10.1 Mb ..is there a way to reduce it to 10.0 or 9.9Mb so my mail program will send it ... it has a 10Mb limit?

Jules

 

My sugestion is zip the file if you can, then send it. If you cant do that, i believe hotmail or yahoo may let you send more than 10mb at a time. Im not positive about that tho, best thing would be to zip the file.

 

I am using yahoo mail to send and they have 10Mb ... I am not that good with computers .. how do I zip??

Check your PC and see if you have WinZip on it. It's not hard to use. Let me know if you can't figure it out. You must make sure the recipient has WinZip as well, though,so that they can unzip it on the other end.

 

but just fyi MP3's are VERY compressed already winzip or others might not do much you could always tell your friend to just download it.

 

Well for me its very dificult to explain, But ver easy to show/do. But weppley is right, both you and the recipient must have winzip. This ( http://www.winzip.com/aboutzip.htm) will tell you what a zip is, how to use them, how to make them, etc. This http://www.winzip.com/downwz.htmis the program you will need to download to make everything work. You do not have to buy it just click the evaluation and you will have it free for 45 days.Hope that helped

 

Winzip is not needed if you are using Windows XP or above. Just right click on the file and goto send to and select Compressed (zipped) Folder. This will create another file. Perhaps the file size will go down enough to send. The other alternative is to re-record the song with lower bitrate. But that will require either another piece of software, or a CD-Burner.

 

Oh gosh Nick ..that worked :-) .. now do I send the file in the folder or do I have to send the whole folder .. it now reports 9.3Mb??

Jules

 

Send the whole folder, if you send the just the file, it will be back to the 10.1 MB size.

 

Ah right .. ok will do ...thanks Nick :-)
