Thank you both for responding so quickly. I changed the bit rate to 192 in
Audacity (I didn't see the exact option you mentioned), and it seems to have
made a significant improvement.

You need to change the settings for LAME (in the Audacity preferences)
to "--alt-presets standard (~190 kbit/s, typical 180 ... 220) " -
high quality, but fast enough. You can read on the settings, for example,
here.

Dear lute friends,
I have been using Audacity to convert wave files to mp3 format but am
not particularly happy with the result. There sometimes seems to be a
degradation of the sound, and the best word I can think of to describe
the result is "wobbly." Can anyone recommend a better program to
perform the conversion?
Many thanks,
Stephen Arndt
