10. Conversion
This feature is used to convert a file from current mode to a different mode.
As stipulated previously in Basic Feature Chapter, jetAudio can read and
play various files. Therefore, any kind of file, which is compatible with
jetAudio 5.0, can be converted to MP3, OGG, Real Media, and WAV file
mode.
MP3: File capacity is one tenth of WAVE file and sound quality equals
that of music CD. MP3 format is famous for providing perfect sound:
this format is best for listening to a high quality sound music. The file
sizes are relatively small, one tenth of Wave file.
OGG: Known for having excellent sound quality and a compression rate
similar to that of MP3
Real Media: A Streaming file such as WMA and the file mode of Real
Networks Company. This file mode can be used when you want to
place a sound on a web page or listen to a sound which has small file
size (sampling of sound).
WAV: Not a compressed form of file mode. Therefore, file size is much
greater than some file modes and this could be its drawback. However,
there is no damage as far as its data is concerned since it preserves the
data without compression.
WMA: WMA Stands for Windows Media Audio. This is a streaming file
of Microsoft Co. Compression rate is very high; therefore, the file size
is relatively small. This file mode guarantees the sound quality similar
to that of MP3.

Appendix
CDDB: There is ID number for every music CD. By using this ID you can searc
h internet music database. If the database has the data for the music CD, jetA
udio will automatically download this data. This database for music CD is called
CDDB. CDDB has almost all of music data of the world. You can also upload m
usic CD data to CDDB..
MP3: Compresses audio data for downloading. This is part of MPEG1 MPEG2 fe
atures. In general, the size of music file in CD is approximately 30MB to 50MB;
however, by using MP3 technique you can reduce it to one twelfth size of the or
iginal size while maintaining the same level of high sound quality..
OGG : (OggVorbis) is a newly created compressed audio format. It is known for
having better sound quality and bit rate than MP3. This format also is under GPL
Agreement of GNU as Linux..
APE : ( Monkey’s Audio File Format ) The existing compression method is defined
as Loss Compression Method and APE method is defined as a Lossless Compression
Method. Although APE is lossless the size of the file is much larger than other files
and this can be a shortcoming of APE.
