[NTLUG:Discuss] Transcoding MP3s

[. Daniel]

Yeah, I meant 128kbps CBR

Turns out someone recommended "Gnormalize" as a means.  Gnormalize is made 
precisely for what I wanted to do.  It does batches and mass conversions.  
It's a gtk-perl front end for a command-line tool.  It requires "normalize" 
and some perl libraries.  To install it under FC5 was a bit of a chore.  In 
the end, I had to do a --nodeps on the install of gnormalize.  I felt 
pretty safe in doing that since the missing dependencies were perl modules 
and I could satisfy those needs with cpan.

Works great.  I was able to fill up a CD with MP3s and listen in my car.  A 
nice thing indeed.
