Lame should be able to take mp3s as input and generate mp3s. But remember you're going to lose quite a bit of quality, as lame will try and encode the artifacts on the first mp3, plus add its own as it tries to lower the bitrate. Don't re-encode unless you need to play them on something that simply can't handle the higher bitrate. -- Dan Nelson dnelson@allantgroup.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
