Hey geno888 & t0nee1, thanks for your reply...the problem is that I don't want to spend the time re-encoding to MP3 21 CDs of audio to reduce it to ~64-80 kBit.

I like shresh's idea of using Mp3resizer...seems like what I was looking for...thanks

If anyone has any other software solution that may suit my purposes, I would be interested in hearing what works...

thanks again guys
