App to convert .mp3 to lower bitrate?

[S!X]

Ive got a cd ( Silverchair - Frogstomp) which id like to make 192 kbp/s from 320 so i can fit the songs on my mp3 or atleast a couple since there isn't much space left on it, which app is best to do this?

just so you know...
re-encoding could do some bad shit to the quality....

but...dbpoweramp, EAC, freerip, etc....tons of free ripping tools out there
hell even WMP may re-encode now :P
dbpoweramp is the best way to go though IMO

I agree with FKDUP74, dbPowerAMP is the best,
and is free and easy.

Feck, maybe i'll just burn the cd and re-rip it or somethin.

If you actually own the CD, I'd re-rip it. At least the quality won't degrade.

mp3's are already compressed so if you tried to compress it again, well I'm sure you can figure that one out ;)

personally i don't think you really lose much quality re-encoding from 320 to 192, but it is nice to own the orginal CD
