I'd use iTunes. Great app, and handles both mp3 and aac. Also easy format conversion.

You can also reconvert your entire collection using Windows Media Player ripper. On options in tools menu, under tab Rip Music you can choose to rip music in mp3 format on bitrate you preffer. There, you can also choose the location where ripped files will be placed and name creation method.
Hope I helped.

dbPoweramp is a very simple convertoe that does the job to your specification.
128kbps MP3 is meant to be CD quality

I agree with @MikLSP, 128Kbps mp3 or 112Kbps mp4 (aac) would be ideal in terms of size and quality.

You can also try the free software called FreeRip. I found it on CNet.
It does batch conversion

or you can use cdex (google it), its an open source convertor which i use regularly, also handles changing the bitrates on mp3's very well, as a lot of my legal mp3's are 256 or 192.
its also a small file, pretty easy to use.
edit: dont "think" it handles wma tho, but then wma is crap for DRM so I avoid it.

@kozicka, I was going to suggest that too as that's what I also use, but it doesn't support mp4 (aac) AFAIK. Do you know if there is an available plug-in or patch that makes it support mp4?

You should in any case try different options out to check the sound quality of the result. There is a lot of room for personal preferences. Some people find 128 more than good enough, others say you can hear a difference with 192. Some say converting wma to mp3 or aac is fine, others complain about sound quality.
Better not be sorry afterwards, in either way (converted and not satisfied with result, or re-ripped and wasted time because converting would have been just as good).

Hi, a quick search as I am at work

reveals this thread:
http://cdexos.sourceforge.net/boards/index.php?act=ST&f=14&t=1059
It looks possible, or if not, there are a couple of apps on that page that should do it.
