Do you mean you still want an mp3 file, but encoded at a lower bit-rate so
that you can fit more files in the same space?

If so, I recommend CDex available at http://cdexos.sourceforge.net/. It is
primarily a CD ripper, but if you choose "Convert" from the menu bar and
then choose "Re-encode compressed audio files" then you can change the
compression to any rate you like.

Of course raising the compression rate won't improve the quality of a
recording, but I frequently use it to reduce the rates so I can fit more on
a disk. Sadly, my hearing doesn't seem to be sharp enough to detect much
difference anyway! As long as it is high enough for my player to recognize
it, I'm happy!

Hope this helps,
