I have over 20 GB of mp3s on my computer. What is the best way to
reduce the size of them? Can I convert them to FLAC files or ZIPs or is
there something better? How can I convert them?

Unless there is a lot of silence on them, .zip won't do anything much.
FLAC files will be bigger. Without losing quality there isn't a lot you
can do. A bigger HD would not be very expensive, or burn the ones you
don't listen to a lot onto DVDs


Or move them out to an external HD...


Or just delete the ones you don't listen to much anyway.
