Compress MP3 Files for downloading

Hi all,

I have a 111MB file which is an audio MP3 file. The BIT Rate is currently 64Kbps - Is there anyway in which i can further compress this file to reduce its size to something more reasonable for download ? If possible i would like to keep the file in an MP3 format.

The sound files were recorded at 32Kbps (as an experiment) and the audio quality was too poor to publish. However 64Kbps ( or even something in between ) may be more suitable. Is it possible to download an application where i can change the Kbps after the file has been recorded and thus reduce the file size and just play around with suitable sound qualities to get the right balance between Kbps and file size :)

Thanks

Hi,

Sorry for the delays in getting back to you all..

Well i played around with some of the software above and ended up using the CDex software and cutting the file size down to reduce the file size. I also took billmercer advice and i record the original in the highest possible quality and then convert it once - thanks for that point :)..

So thank you all !
