Hi,

I'm currently searching for a solution to reencode MP3 files with 256 kbps to lower bitrate MP3 files (128 kbps). I'd like to use these lower bitrate files for my mp3 stick to save space.

My needs:
- Batch mode
- Load file list from pls or m3u
- Copy ID3 from original file to the target file
- Create a folder for each Artist in target directory
- Rename file to %Title%.mp3

My MP3 files are all tagged, so guessing the Artist or Title is not necessary. Does anybody know about a program that does support those features?

I quickly wrote a little program by myself, but it's only a makeshift. Because I was not able to read the mp3 files using lame_enc.dll. Maybe it will also help, if someone can tell me if it's even possible to read mp3 using lame_enc.dll. Maybe someone does have a code snipped?

Folder creation: hmmm.
The other 2: mp3tag

Foobar will be able to do everything you are looking for.

Load up the files with the playlist file, then use the commandline encoder function, you can even setup things like:

\%artist%-%date%-%album%.MP3\%_filename%

So it'll do all your files at once and have directorys created for you

I do use mp3tag sometimes though as well
