Good mp3 bitrate converter...

[Plywood99]

Hey all,
I have a ton of mp3's coded at a high bitrate and I'm looking for a good program that will reincode them at a lesser bitrate for my mini mp3 player. Must have a batch function, so I can just point it at my music derectory and let it go to town.

TIA,

Ply

I use CDex for all my audio conversion needs.

And OGG works so much better than MP3 for higher bitrate encodeing(256+).

I use dBpowerAMP.

dbpowerAMP is good, i use to make ringtones with that

Now I use Blaze Media Pro. Its very fast and easy to use; also it has a mp3 compression.

I've used dBpoweramp and never really had to look for anything else

Any audio/ Mp3 editing software will be of use, suggest to try FlexiMusic Wave Editor, in this save the Mp3 file using the command “Save As”. While using this command, it will ask for change in bit rate where you can change (lower) the bit rate of Mp3 your choice.

Re-encoding an already compressed file to another compression scheme will usually not sound good at all. Two "almost unhearable " compressions applied will make one hearable.

If I have to do it I use `mpg123 ... | lame ...`.
