Please note that a Universal Multilingual Code Converter is neccessary to view to contents of the Chinese Midis and Chinese MP3s Section.
If you do not have one, dun scared hor, you can download it here. njstar12.gif (5765 bytes)

As for ultimate listening pleasure, you can download two of the most popular plug-ins which are compatible with both Internet Explorer 4.X and Netscape Navigator 3.X. They are :  crescendo.gif (1629 bytes)    and   yamaha.gif (2729 bytes) . Take your pick and proceed.


Again, I've included, in this page, informations about mp3s..... Take a look if you very boliaoz and trying to find things to kill time. But me bo pian. Coz I want this site to be as extensive as possible lor. Anyway you can don't read on if you want. So are u ready?


MPEG layer 3 is a type of audio codec where processed by significant compression from the original audio source with very little loss in sound quality. The compression up to 12:1 produces a very little degradation. Tighter compression can be achieved, but it will effect in sound degradation results.

To obtain certain compression, we must adjust the bit rates. The standart bit rates (near cd quality result) is 128 or 112 kbit/s. Many people claim that low-rate MPEG layer 3 files sound better than Real Audio files with similar bit rates.

The advantage of MP3 is that it can be broken up into pieces, and each piece is still playable. The feature that makes this possible (headerless file format) also means that MP3 files can be made to stream across the net real-time (assuming the playback bitrate and speed of the Internet connection are compatible).

The disadvantage of MP3 compression is that lots of processor power is required to encode and play files, also a sound-card is required (16-bit sound card). The hardware player/encoder/decoder is still in development & have very expensive price.

How to create your own MP3 filez ?

Step 1

The first step is to make a WAV file of the music you want to convert into MP3. There are also programs available that can make MP3's while reading it from CD but with the current CPU's available this is not possible in high quality. So we need to make a WAV file of the music that we convert into a MP3 in the next steps.

There are two ways to make WAV files of your music.

Use your Sound Card to record the music in WAV format.
Directly rip the music from CD with a ripping program WITHOUT using your soundcard.

The first method is a very bad method because you get noise from your soundcard into the WAV file. The second method is the only one that is acceptable when you are going to trade your home-made MP3 filez.

So how do you rip music directly from CD?

Well there are quite a few programs that can help you with this. We will explain of the most popular ones how to use them.

NOTE 1 : You may experience difficulties if you try to run these programs in a multitasking environment such as OS/2, Win95 or WinNT. If you have trouble in one of these environments, then exit to DOS and try again. In Win95, this means selecting 'Shut Down' then 'Restart to MS-DOS mode'.

NOTE 2 : CD-ROM caching software will usually screw up the drives' ability to raw read digital audio. If you're using a disk cache (this includes SMARTDRV included with MS-DOS and Windows) then disable it before trying to read CD-DA.

NOTE 3 : Make sure you have enough harddisk space to save the WAV files. You must have about 10mb free for every minute (!!) of music that you want to rip from CD. So for the average song of 4 minutes you need 40mb of free harddisk space.

Step 2
Now that we got the WAV file we can start encode it into a MP3 file.
There are only a few programs that can encode WAV files into MP3 files.

So that's all for me preaching.....
