Upgrade your Media Files – How to Convert Mp3 to Mp4 Format

The advent of various portable media players have been a welcome idea to many users. Now they can have access to their media files while on the go.
It can be noted that most of the downloadable media files available on the internet and the ones stored in millions on computers are in the mp3 format. However, majority of the newer media players available in the market today can only read media files are that are recorded in the mp4 format. This has posed a major problem to many end users who copy the files unto their media players and can’t access it.
Mp4 players are the technology of today in the sense that it plays both audio and video files and a combination of various unique file formats, but cannot play mp3 format files.
There is a lot of software available for download over the internet that can convert mp3 to mp4 format but most of the time, only advanced users can go about it.
To convert mp3 to mp4, follow these simple steps:
• Browse the internet, download and install audio to video converters. There are a lot of such converters available for download over the internet. Do a research and find a suitable one. Some of them allow you to try the software for a period of time with an option to buy it when the period elapses. Most of them only convert mp4 to mp3 and not vice versa, take note!
• Since there are various versions of mp4 formats, determine which format your portable media player requires to play the file you are converting. There versions are:
o Mp4 – plays both audio and video files
o Mp4a – plays audio files
o Mp4b – plays audio books
o Mp4v – plays video files
o Mp4p – plays protected files
• You may need to download the mp4 codec if the converter you are using does not bundle this in, most of them do. Chances are that if you downloaded the free version of converters, you will need to download the codec. The link to get it is always included in the resources/help tab. The media files will not convert without the proper codec.
• Now select the file/s that you need to convert. The right-clicking option is available on most converters. Select the format you want to convert it to or follow the instructions on the drop-menus to proceed
• After selecting the requirements for conversion, click on the convert or ‘OK’ button to complete the process.
Always remember to save your converted files at the location that you can recall. Most people have trouble finding the file destination after it has been converted and resort to going through the whole conversion process again to find the needed file. Oftentimes, it is stored in the same folder as the downloaded converter.

Choosing The Right Laptop For You

Before buying the right laptop, consider these features:

The processor or CPU is the heart of  the computers and laptops.  Consider the power and version (latest is the best choice) depending on your requirements and budget. Intel and AMD are the only manufacturers of processor.

The memory of the laptops determines the speed and efficiency of your machine.  The bigger the memory, the faster it work.  Of course, bigger memory means bigger budget for you. 

The connectivity of the laptop is very important.  Make sure it has at least two USB connection and at least one firewire connection.  It should be WiFi ready and with Bluetooth connectivity. 

The compactability and weight of the laptop is quite essential too.  Make sure it’s sturdy enough and you can carry it without much effort on your part.  The heat coming from the bottom of the machine should also be checked.

Not all laptops have optical drive or dvd player or writer.  Usually, mini laptops have no optical drive, but can be installed with an external driver. 

The display screen or LCD depends on the number of pixels and size of the screen.  Higher number of pixels are more expensive.

Corsair Microsystems USB Drive

This flash drive is one of the best on the market for small memory capacity. By small I intend 16GB, which is just perfect to carry around your music files, video clips and other important files like documents and other such things. Some people boast about the fact that this particular pen drive can resist various ‘accidents’, showing just how reliable and rugged it is. I tried various things and found some to be true, others a bit less. The water proof thing is somewhat true, as long as you don’t submerge it completely for a long time. I left in in for a few minutes ans the USB would be recognized by my computer once every three to five times. As per the SUV running over it, well let’s just say that with a compact car the memory device still worked perfectly even after driving over it. The rubber casing clearly works well and is quite durable. The ‘rugged’ look also makes the USB more interesting and appealing to look at. Data isn’t transferred at a lightning fast speed, but pretty quickly nonetheless. All in all it is a great product, sold a t a competitive price and a USB which will last you quite some time. You won’t be able to do demanding things like video editing within it but it is incredibly useful to store important things.

The DT150 comes with a five year warranty and is fully compatible with Windows Vista, XP and 2000, in addition to Linux 2.6 and above and Mac OS X 10.3 and above. Though the DT150 boasts a lot of storage it should be noted that it does not support Windows Ready boost. The DT150 is available in the U.S. and will retail for US$139.00.
It’s amazing to think how much you can put on a 32GB flash drive. Just imagine the amount of data that is capable of being stored in something small enough to put in your pocket. As flash drives get bigger, I bet the anxiety of losing the drive and everything on it gets larger as well.
