hey i just bought a little mp3 player and im trying to cram as much music on it as possible (without sounding like shit). most of my mp3s are 192k. are there any pgms out there that will drop my quality in bulk so i dont have to re-save each file one at a time? |

Here's what I'd do - load up the files you want in a playlist in Winamp, then select Nullsoft disk writer as the output, decode them to wav en masse, then use some drag 'n' drop tool like RazorLame to re-encode them to 128k. You will lose some quality this way, but the mp3 spec doesn't support bitrate-peeling like Ogg Vorbis so I guess there's no other way. |

how much does your mp3 player hold, i'm just curious......?? |

Mpeg suite can change bitrates for you, that's what i have it's freeware |
||||||||

it has 64meg onboard, but im gonna get a 512mb sd card for it. |

You can use Wavelab to do Batch processing, I am sure other audio packages let you do it as well. |

I use easy CD-DA extractor 5.0 from www.poikosoft.com to convert a list of mp3 files to high qual 112kbs (using lame) you can't tell the diff unless it's metal really. i get quite a few on my player that way. |

Um use analogx MP3 encoder its well tasty. |
||||||||
|

yeah, mine's got 64 meg, too. i can fit all of ICBYD on there at 128 kbps. at best. i'm also looking to get a memory card for it too. |

Easy Audio File Converter (included with CDDA extractor) download an old version off kazaa so you don't have to worry about the expiration date. i have ver 4.6.9 |

i have something called db poweramp music convertor. it comes with mp3 (lame) and wav, but you can also download codecs for other formats. i don't know if its any good, but its what i use and it is free i think. |

use a plugin for winamp like lamemp3 writer (i think that's what it's called) and select a lower bitrate in the configuration and do as fleet said but without making wav first |

cool edit pro 2. 0 does batch file conversions - this should be fine for your needs :) |

Wah! That's too cool. I installed the Winamp plugin, told it where my was and a few seconds later I had created a 128k file from a VBR one. Too cool. I'm gonna use this a lot to downsample the VBR files from EMusic so I can play them on my mp3 boombox (goddamn thing won't read VBR files). Thanks! Much more efficient than making wavs first. |

for file in `cat myplaylist.m3u` ; do > lame --silent --alt-preset cbr 128 $file small-${file} > done |

Even cooler - I didn't realize Lame could take an mp3 as input. I figured the file writer plugin was sending it a stream of wav data. |
