Looking for a simple mp3 bitrate converter?

Need simple to use mp3 bitrate converter. Can be freeware or shareware - willing to pay for a license as long it's not full of adware. Software has to be able to allow selecting multiple mp3 files at the same time - and converting all to a particular bitrate. In most cases, from 128 or 192 bitrates to 320. Any mp3 experts out there - with knowledge and/or recommendation of a bitrate converter... please post direct URL if you have it.....

    I like Switch Sound File Converter. It can create MP3's at any bit rate. 8 ~ 320Kbps. It will encode them as either mono or stereo and allows for variable and controlled bit rate encodings. It can easily convert hundreds of songs at once too if you want.

    The program is free for 14 days. After that, you need to pay $29.99 to keep it active. You can even get a physical copy at Office Depot if you would like. The easer way is to just download it though.

    You can get it here: http://www.nch.com.au/switch/mp3.html

    The software will convert audio formats to AAC, and WMA as well. And it even supports Lossless formats like WAV and FLAC.

    Hope this helps!

    Converting from a low bitrate to a higher bitrate is pointless. Once you've thrown away data to get down to 128kbps you won't be able to get it back. Converting 128kbps to 320kbps can only ever make the sound even worse.
