Basic computer understanding fail.

[T-Bone]

While doing work for my disertation I came across this guy;

I am using the JLayer Converter.convert method which takes a source and destination file name (which the source is MP3 and destination is WAV file).
It successfully converts the MP3 file to WAV file, the problem is the MP3 file is of 6.11 MB and the converted WAV file is around 67.3 MB.
How can we control the WAV file size to be same as the MP3 file size.
Please do reply, it is very urgent?

FAIL/10.

I have no idea what any of that means.

Then again, i dont do computing. Im guessing its fairly basic

He has uncompressed a file and wants the uncompressed file size to remain the same as the compressed. In a nutshell.

omg.... FAIL on so many levels.........

For the totally uninitiated: WAV audio files are the "raw" audio format, this is digital audio, totally uncompressed and is the best quality audio that you can get.

Because, however, it is "raw" audio in its purest form, it also takes up a massive amount of space.

What he wants is to use the mp3 file he has in wav form, but still keep it at 6.3MB.

Reducing the wav from 67MB to 6MB was the whole point of mp3 in the first place........

Hoy,

I have this folded map, and it's about 30cm x 20cm. I can unfold it fine, but when I do, it gets to be about 80cm x 1.20m. How do I control the size of the unfolded map to be the same as the folded map?

Cheers,
J.

Maybe you misled some people with your title of "basic"

Not everyone seems to know these things

Yeah, maybe.

I honestly thought that was computing 101 though. Apparantly I was mistaken. Thanks be to zooggy for his everyman metaphor though.
