Hi,
I am experimenting with the sampling rate of the mp3 file to convert it into caf format. afconvert -f caff -d LEI16@44100 ./fricatives_play_all.mp3 ./test.caf afconvert -f caff -d LEI16@22100 ./fricatives_play_all.mp3 ./test.caf afconvert -f caff -d LEI16@12000 ./fricatives_play_all.mp3 ./test.caf afconvert -f caff -d LEI16@20100 ./fricatives_play_all.mp3 ./test.caf afconvert -f caff -d LEI16@15100 ./fricatives_play_all.mp3 ./test.caf afconvert -f caff -d LEI16@14100 ./fricatives_play_all.mp3 ./test.caf afconvert -f caff -d LEI16@13100 ./fricatives_play_all.mp3 ./test.caf afconvert -f caff -d LEI16@44100 -c 1 ./fricatives_play_all.mp3 ./test.caf afconvert -f caff -d LEI16@13100 -c 1 ./fricatives_play_all.mp3 ./test.caf afconvert -f caff -d LEI16@22100 -c 1 ./test ./test2.caf
I have used different sampling rates as above for converting mp3 files to caf files. For instance, for a 38.5 MB file :
Sampling Rate Size 15,100 72.6 MB 14,100 67.8 MB 13,100 63 MB
As you can see the file size reduces with the lower sampling rate but the quality gradually decreases. If you could provide more insight into this problem, I would really appreciate it.
