How to Convert an MP3 Song to the Smallest Format for a Mobile Phone

The MP3 file format provides excellent sound quality to enjoy digital music anywhere. However, the MP3 compression results in a relatively large file that will occupy a lot of valuable space when transferred to a portable device. The solution for users who want to fit more songs on their mobile phones without sacrificing too much sound quality is the Advanced Audio Coding (AAC) file format, which can cut the space usage up to 50 percent.
