Portable Devices

To help you squeeze more music into your portable device, click the option Bitrate Limit and choose a smaller bit rate size. This will, on the fly, automatically shrink a larger bit rate file (for example, 128 kbps) to a smaller bit rate file! (for example, 96 kbps)

It takes more time to download when using this feature however you can load more music into your player without changing the files on your hard drive!

The smaller the bitrate, the smaller the file, the more you can fit in your device.
