Hi Kevin,<br />
<br />
I understand that perfectly, I was just wondering if there was a "less bad"<br />
way of converting music to g729 format so people find the quality bad, but<br />
don`t feel like cutting their ears off. <br />
<br />

I have used the asterisk cli to do my conversion to g729. I have gotten the best results there.<br />
<br />
cli file convert in_file out_file<br />
asterisk -x "file convert in_file out_file"<br />
