Teeny tunes

ShrinkMyTunes puts the squeeze on your music library.

Zoning out to your MP3 player en route to another day at the coalface is as normal as delayed trains and constant drizzle in summer. Finding the right track from your pretty, but poorly endowed Shuffle, Stone or Walkman, is, annoyingly, right up there too.

Step up then, ShrinkMyTunes. A new service, launched today, it compresses your MP3s to up to a quarter of their size, turning Nanos into fully fledged monster 'Pods.

The initial download will hit you for a penny shy of £20. Once you've got it though, you can simply click on shrink and it'll take care of business, squishing down your MP3s and WAV files. You can either replace original tracks, or save smaller ones to a new folder.

T3 put it to the test with its bat-like ears, and loss of sound was negligible. If you're powering along on the way to work, it's difficult to notice.

Boost over here to download and get more bang for your iPod buck.
