mp3s to Lower bit rate

**shiato storm** · 21-03-2005, 05:34 PM

I have some mp3's I would like to reduce in size - they are typically around 30mb

because someone recorded them at an excessively high bit-rate (around 900-1000k

). is there anything I can use, relatively easily, to reduce the size of them such as reducing bitrate to a more normal 256k type?

btw the highest setting in any mp3 ripper program is 320kpbs, you sure you not just got plain old "wav" files ?

lame encoding gives the best quality and good file size

lame --alt-preset standard, if you're wedded to .mp3
