I have a midi file. Is there any way to sharply reduce its file size? Like, water down the quality or something?

**fchaos** · 07-20-2006, 09:35 AM

I'm pretty sure you can't, but midi files are tiny as it is. Why do you need it smaller?

**Siouxsie** · 07-20-2006, 09:50 AM

Probably for a phone.

**GrandTheftAutoJunkie** · 07-20-2006, 10:02 AM

This geocities I'm using has a very limited size transfer. Normally midi files are small but I converted it from Mp3, which raised its size alot. 12 megs. I suppose there's no way to shrink it?

**Siouxsie** · 07-20-2006, 10:02 AM

Erm, 12 megs?

What song is it? I might be able to get it for you.

**GrandTheftAutoJunkie** · 07-20-2006, 10:05 AM

It's the theme to an anime show. The name is "Naraku no Yabou". The reason it's so big is because it still has its quality from when it was an Mp3.

**Siouxsie** · 07-20-2006, 10:08 AM

Can't get that, sorry. I can only get pop songs really. Are you sure you even want music on your page? Music gets irritating quickly...

**GrandTheftAutoJunkie** · 07-20-2006, 10:12 AM

I'm making a website for the anime show, InuYasha. I'm trying to match character bios with music themes of that particular character. Trouble is, geocities doesn't accept Mp3 files so I tried to convert it but that left me with a 12 megabyte midi.

**Siouxsie** · 07-20-2006, 10:13 AM

Hmm. Can you upload it to a different host and shorcut it?

**GrandTheftAutoJunkie** · 07-20-2006, 10:15 AM

The point of it was to have the music playing that matches the character while someone was looking at the character bio. If I used a link, I might as well link it to the site I got the Mp3 file from.

**Siouxsie** · 07-20-2006, 10:18 AM

No, that's not what I mean. Upload it to somewhere else, and add it into the source of the page as embedded music.

**GrandTheftAutoJunkie** · 07-20-2006, 10:20 AM

Wouldn't that use up the same amount of file transferring?

**Siouxsie** · 07-20-2006, 10:22 AM

No, because the file wouldn't be on the page. It would be on a different site.

TPTaylor · 07-20-2006, 10:26 AM

The way to create a pop song by midi, is to play it in, or to type it in yourself by a program like sibelius.
I doubt it would play on any phones, as the phone wouldn't have the set sounds if it is 12mb.

**GrandTheftAutoJunkie** · 07-20-2006, 10:27 AM

Did you read? I don't intend to use it for a phone. It's for a website. Siouxsie, I'll try your idea.
