MP3 Encoding

[Wasyls Pec Deck]

I'm looking to make my MP3 Files smaller so I can fit more on mp iPod. Most of my torrents from bitcomet are usually 192kbps if not higher, and I'd ideally like to reduuce them to 128kbps...any ideas on how I can reduce the bit rate????? I seem to remember years ago using Audio Catalyst......... don't have a clue now though!!

right, i'm, not sure, but my settings are (in advanced):

present: none

sampling frequency: 44 100 hz

channel mode: stereo

current bitrate: 128 (nearer 'good')

encoder quality: better

filtering

highbypass filtering freq (in hz) 30 (this is not ticked)

low bypass filtering (in hz) 15160 (not ticked either)

VBR

coding method: none

VBR quality: 7

targed bitrate for ABR 128

expert

only short blocks and bit reservoir are ticked

ATH control: default

de-emphasis: default

make sure 'preserve tags' isn't ticked and that you're converting to mp3 file(.mp3)

hope this helps.....
