compress.. like make them a lower file size? i wouldn't recommend it. makes the quality of the tracks sound like shit. best solution = get a bigger hard drive. step ya hardware game up and grab a 1 terabyte (1000 gig) drive for $100 at frys

mp3 files are already a compressed audio (WAV) file, so you're not going to get much more compression out of itevne if you zip/rar/whatever it up. you could convert it to a lower bitrate which comes with a loss of quality

WAV files aren't compressed.
