For this lame purevolume thing. Any tips/hints?

What kind of file? mp3?

If mp3, open with Cool Edit Pro and cut the beginning and the end as possible.

You can download a program called Advanced WMA Workshop. It will allow you to convert an MP3 file to WMA which can cut the file size in half depending on how many kbps you make it.

pretty sure pure volume has the file format of mp3

Well you can also use that program to change the bitrate of the Mp3 song, it shouldn't really affect the quality of the sound too much either.

I just tested it and changed an mp3 song w/ a bitrate of 128 to 96 and it basically sounds the same but reduced it by almost a whole megabyte.

Try encoding at a variable bit rate from the original WAV. Might get you down a little.

I never said 192...I said 128, and there really isn't that much quality loss IMO from 128 to 96

open it up in wave pad (freeware) and save as .mp3 and lower the quality a bit, that make the file smaller
