billh Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Hi Folks, I will be using mp3 or wav files on my site. Seeing you all play music etc. on your sites. What is the best file to use mp3, wav or other? I've been reading post on the forum and I'm starting to think I should just go with the mp3 files. Any input on what the best file type to use is? Thank, Bill "I'm Retired" Donations PayPal.Me/artistview . I only do dry reads, if you want FX's you'll have to add them, I might add them. If you use my voice please link to my art site AbstractArtist.xyz, Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clairedodin Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 yes, mp3 is best. Wav is too heavy and will take to long to load. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THREETEN RADIO Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Yep, I agree with Claire, mp3 is best compromise with quality verses file size. WAV is great quality and superior to mp3 but file sizes are way too large, most internet stations are streaming mp3 format, myself included.

GKIye Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 I agree with Claire and 3|10 I vote = MP3 for the reasons written above Visit and listen @ BW ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinglemaster Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 I prefer wav by a long way, but have to agree for websites it has to be mp3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Baabaa Productions Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Have to go along with what has been said. For commercial paid work always asked for wav. However, for website downloads MP3 is best asw it uses less memory. Mark:biggrinthumb: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BWorld Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 MP3 all the way. The compression used on MP3 files is awesome and it reduces the size so much, while keeping the quality amazing! ██ Stream101 | Affordable Media Solutions ██ Shared cPanel?

producerpinnell Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 MP3 by miles for websites. Although it won't sound as glossy as it would do if it were a WAV, It'll be quicker for website visitors to download. MP3 all the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
