Right. mp3 is already a compressed format which means most of the
duplicate information has already been extracted out of the file. There
won't be much, if anything, a generalized compressor can do. Only way to
make mp3s smaller is to re-encode them with lower quality (a lossy
compression).
I
Yeah, a folder full of mp3 files isn't going to compress much. The xls
files will compress a lot but they probably take up very little space.
Different compression algorithms work better on different kinds of
data. What a tool can do is look at each file and dtermine which
algorithm to use to
By decide do you mean how do you tell zip to compress faster or better?
If you want zip to compress faster you use -1 at the command line. To
compress better, you use -9.
If you're asking how you decide whether to use -1 or -9, it would depend
on how much disk space you have.

How do you decide between speed and compression in doing zip files in OS X?

There are theoretical limits to the amount of compression you can get
without loss of information although different compression algorithms
would work better or worse depending on the stuff you are compressing.
The OP said he wanted his stuff compressed as small as humanly possible
but that wo
I compressed my copy of Keynote, which is really made up of thousands of
files under the hood totaling 611,951,069 bytes (692.5 MB). To test unix
compress I did
tar -zcvf test.gz /Applications/Keynote.app/
which generated a compressed file of 428,440,218 bytes (428.4MB) or
about 61.9% of the
Hi Pam, yes just hit command-o on the file and it will unzip. You'll
need another utility if it is a .rar file though.

Hello everyone,
I have a reverse question on the same topic. I was sent an audio file large
enough to have to be zipped. I do not know how to open it and read it. Is there

now that SArchiver’s gone down the tubes? what’s the best archiving utility for
the mac? i wanna be able to compress files as small as humanly possible, but
still retain quality. thanks for any info!
