Well, if you have the original .wav form I'd reccomend doing it with an mp3 encoder and shooting for like.. 128 kbps depending on song length.

I suppose it's possible to compress an already compressed file.. but I've never tried, and it would sound like crap.

I guess you could burn the mp3 onto a CD or something and then rip it and then recompress it with an encoder like CDex.

Hope that helps.

This is just as bad. Just another mp3 mp3'd.

CDex is what I use to do things, experiment with various bitrates, maybe even try variable bit rate (vbr) if the song is somewhat mellow.

A lot depends on the length of the track etc etc.
Just curious, what track is it? Maybe some of us could lend a hand.[/quote]

iTunes will do the trick as well.

So convert the original again into 128kbps. Surely you still have the wav form of an original composition.
