What is the best file compression format for a particular file type?

I am testing UHARC vs RAR rightnow. Will post results shortly.

cool!

WinRAR finished about half an hour ago. UHARC is still busy.

I am dissapointed.
(maybe did something wrong?)

I used 18 MP3 files, 64.0MB total

RAR best compression: 62.7MB
UHA ALZ:3 (best): 62.3MB

did u choose multimedia option? UHARC is supposed to be a MAD multimedia compression... well, except on movies...

 

[TheMajor]

Yes, I used Multimedia compression: "ON (Good)"
It was the highest option available.

well, beats RAR and not by much... either way thats not very good compression.
