Very nice to see vk links :D

wanna try it for small and unnecessary uploads
btw, i'm using following 7z parameters: -mx0 -ms=off -mf=off -mhe=on
dunno if they correct

Oh god, I'm not knowledgeable about 7z parameters, I always compress on default settings.

default level of compression is 5, and it's slow, -mx0 is fastest (x=0 means Copy mode (no compression))
-ms=off disables solid mode
-mf=off disables compression filters
-mhe=on enables archive header encryption

Usually people use 7zip's GUI or just run it from Windows Explorer's context menu rather than mess with command-line tool.
** "-mx0": ok, probably makes little difference to archive file size if you compress exactly vbr mp3 or flac. If you compress cbr mp3 or wavs the benefit from using default level 5 or higher levels of compression can be very noticeable;
** "-ms=off": solid mode can make a noticeable difference to archive file size if there're many files to pack. Yet of course solid mode doesn't worth the trouble if an archive is expected to be kept "as it is" (usually it's not so, usually it's fully unpacked and deleted right after download's finished) + you expect/need to often update it and/or unpack only some files from the archive (i.e. for playback in an audio player).
** "-mf=off": by default filters are triggered by executables' and wav file extensions. If you compress wavs then NOT changing default settings (i.e. leaving this option turned on) is recommended. Just tested it at a wav track (with default level 5 compression): unpacked file size 56,9 MB, packed with -mf=on 46,5 MB, packed with -mf=off 53,5 MB;
** "-mhe=on": does nothing if you don't encrypt/set password for your archive (with this option turned on noone can see folder/file names within archive until he enters correct password).

These settings fit for someone who spends whole days exactly on packing files - basically it's consolidating (not actually compressing) several files into one file for 1-time upload needs, with minimizing packing time as the only concern. Quite a specific priority I'd say, wouldn't recommend just to blindly copy-paste these settings and use them by default for everyone around.
