converting mp3's and wmv's to lower bitrate

[deamer44]

At the moment my files have bitrates of around 300-500kb a second, im wondering if i can lower this and therefore save more room on my mp3 .

Thanks Tom

You could try dbpoweramp, not free though

500kb a second? how did you encode mp3s at that rate?

Probably using something like Handbrake except for audio files.

Audacity does it. You must have the LAME encoder with it though. Both are free downloads.

Here are the steps:

Open Audacity > Press Ctrl+P (alternatively, you can go to edit and then choose Preferences) > File Formats > Under the MP3 Export Setup you have an option to choose the Bitrate.

If you need help in downloading and installing LAME encoder after you have installed Audacity here are the steps for it:
