Cannot Change Sync Bitrate...

rycjones · 11-18-2007, 09:03 AM

So, I rip and store all of my music at 320 kbps. However, I like to load my Zune with tunes at 128 kbps. The old Zune software converted them for me, but the new software doesn't. Nor have I been able to find a mechanism for changing the bitrate for syncing music.

Any clues or help would be appreciated!

What does the new software do? Leave them at 320?

Apparently. I used to add A LOT of music and video due to the lower mp3 bitrate. Now I am really having to pick and choose what I sync to my Zune. Granted, this does make the 80 gig Zune that much more attractive, but I love my 30 gig and would love to have the control I used to have over my syncs and continue to use the new software, which I think is pretty slick and easy to use.

I noticed this too. While it's nice to have well encoded music, space has become an issue. I understand your pain rycjones

Use WMP instead it has the same options as the previous zune software

That's not possible (yet).

^ what i mean is rip the cd in WMP and add it to the zune software and sync.

How would I go about doing this with the hundreds of albums ripped to my hard drive already?

^you'll have to re-rip the cd's using WMP or downgrade back to 1.4 (zune) sync the tracks then upgrade back to 2.2
