mencoder,abcde, audacity ?
you may first convert to .wav format and again u need to re-encode to mp3.
search in synaptic "mp3" if u use ubuntu or debian or any debian based distros.

I compress mp3 all the time :D Use this... Install ffmpeg.. Then type this in the directory where your files are located.

ffmpeg -i <input file nama> -ab xxx <out file name>

Here, replace <xyz> with the corresponding values with extension and xxx with the bitrate, ie 64,96,128 and the like..

Note : Your input file maybe in any recognisable audio/video format, and it'll still work.. i.e, .wav, .flv, .ogg , .wma etc...... :D

ffmpeg -i <10 Crush On You.mp3> -ab 32 <test.mp3>

bash: syntax error near unexpected token `newline'

can u correct my syntax

Remove the < and > signs. They are not needed. Since your file name has spaces, you need to enclose the file name with quotes. So the correct syntax becomesffmpeg -i "10 Crush On You.mp3" -ab 32 "test.mp3"
