Curious to know which of the two formats, M4A or AAC, people have a preference for in storing their music on the N70.

What is the best format to use if you're not wanting to use Realplayer but instead want to use one of the commercially available media players that can be downloaded.

I have a 1GB card in my phone and I'd like to load up my music using a compromise between quality and file size.

Separately if Realplayer is not being used, what is the best player to look at?

I'd go with ogg player..... I used to just have wma music files transferred directly from Windows Media Player. Took up about 200mb and I didn't have that many songs. I downloaded oggplayer (changed the skin and icon to look a little better), converted all the songs to ogg and they now take up less than 60mb Over 140mb saved without any noticable loss of quality.

Best thing is, Ogg is free 😊 Seach either this website or the web with google to download it 😊

Hope this helps

Thanks for the feedback.

what software do you use to convert your music to ogg format.
