Gramophone problem

What is the bit rate of these MP3s? If it's 56kbs, that's the lowest (I think) you can go while still retaining any semblence of quality. If they're lower than that, it might cause a problem on playback. The higher the bit rate, the longer it takes for the sound file to cue (or load) but if it's too low, problems can occur.
As already mentioned .ogg is a great compression format that still retains high quality in a small file size. Just find out what the other .ogg file sizes/bitrates are and use the same settings for your new ones.
I think there are two major MP3 compression types. I always use the "Lame" compression format.
