hi,
there's a recent thread about reencoding mp3, you can find it in the
archives at:
http://minnie.tuhs.org/pipermail/mp3encoder/2002-August/005028.html
to sum it up in short terms: reencoding is generally not a very
good idea.
maybe you could switch to ogg vorbis, it is designed to be able to peel
a stream, which means reducing bitrate without reencoding, but afaik
the tools for peeling are quite experimental / not available for the public
yet. if you already have mp3s and not the original wav files, ogg would
not help you anyway, as reencoding mp3 to ogg is a very bad idea, too.
hope no one's annoyed because im advertising ogg here, i personally like
both lame/mp3 and ogg vorbis.
regards,
wernfried
