Hi!

I do use these two programs for single and batch photo and video compression. They let you cut the file size by ~80% without any noticeable loss in quality, but can not find anything similar for my huuuge music collection. Any reccomendations please?

Save some space, guys!

fre:ac is a gui program that can do exactly what you need. It supports every codec you could ever want. Unless you want ATRAC for some weird reason.

Edit: Also it supports Linux, Windows, and MacOS.

    That's what I use. It even has the FDK-AAC encoder which many open souce projects leave out due to the patent situation, though that does not matter if you only use LC-AAC.

    AAC always confused me. I've seen them use the extensions .m4a, .mp4, and .aac. But they're all different are they not? I still have a few albums I downloaded on iTunes back in the day and they're all .m4a. More confusing however, ALAC also uses the .m4a extension. I think Apple is bad at naming things.
