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.

Default Re: Compress mp3 in linux ?

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

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 becomes
Code:
ffmpeg -i "10 Crush On You.mp3" -ab 32 "test.mp3"
