I have 5 albums that i want to compress to something alott smaller. the albums are 304Mb in total. Is there anyway to make it under 10Mb?
I have downloaded something about 3Mb and when extracted about 4Gb. I don't really care how long it takes, jus wanna know how to do it.
Thanks.

Compression works basically on patterns. Stuff that is already compressed like mp3's and other compressed audio formats does not compress well at all. For 304MB's you would probably only go down to only 300MB's. If on the other hand you had a 4GB PCM wav file containing only silence then it would probably compress down to a few KB's.

Should also point out that b = bit where as you presumably meant B as in Bytes.
