l use Nero Wave Editor. It has mp3pro (a new compression technology that can compress a WAV file to 1/2 the size of mp3 at almost the same quality. You can even load an mp3 and compress it further using mp3pro. The ones l compressed @ 64kbps using mp3pro are comparable to ones l compress @ 160kbps using mp3.

I use Audacity to compress mp3 files. Or convert from other formats into mp3. Audacity reads just about anything!
for windows users:
http://audacity.sourceforge.net/download/windows
or for linux users:
http://audacity.sourceforge.net/download/linux
you download it in source code but if you use ubuntu you can get it off your repository. "sudo apt-get install audacity"
or mac users:
http://audacity.sourceforge.net/download/mac
Make sure you also install the LAME MP3 Encoder which is available on the site.
Hope that works for you.

Well, I compress MP3s to 64Kbps Mono, The sound quality is super, There is a small difference between it and the original track, But you save much space, and the speaker of the P800 is perfect in playing such files.
to each their own, but mono? Is that really necessary? You lose so much depth that way, I wouldn't recommend it myself.
AAC does a good job at smaller bitrates than MP3. For example the quality of a 96Kbps track in AAC sounds about the same as a 128Kbps track in mp3

I use Winamp v.5.541 pro to convert my Mp3's to 64kbps m4a format.

Yep. Musicmatch. But dont overdo it. Because when bitrate is lowered, sound quality is lessened. An mp3 with 128kbps is the minimum i can go.

exactly. The more I listen to higher bitrates, the more crap lower ones sound. I'm up to 192Kbps AAC or 256Kbps mp3 BARE MINIMUM so far. I prefer 320 if possible.

Mp3 is already a compressed, lossy format. The acceptable near-cd quality is 128kbps.
Compressing mp3 further will result to an inferior quality sounding track file. So it would boil down to quantity vs quality issue:
more mp3s of lesser quality or lesser mp3s of more quality?
The only format that sounds good even at 64kbps is Sony's proprietary ATRAC format. Too bad it didn't get that popular like mp3 did.
Imo Sony could have pushed up the popularity of ATRAC had it allowed SE to include ATRAC as a supported format by the earth's 1st walkman phone, W800.

I doubt it. They removed the DRM restrictions too late in the game.
