mp3 manipulation software

[jwmcfarlin]

Anyone run across any software that runs in OS8.6 that can manipulate an mp3 file, say, change the sample rate? I have an older mac I am doing some mpegdec testing on and want to get the sample rate down to less than 128kbps.

Best,

John

Nothing comes to mind. I guess most sound manipulation was done on uncompressed material back in the day because of limited processing power. Can you convert to AIFF, change the sample rate and then re-encode as MP3?

I'd give SoundEdit 16 a go - a version exists out there with MP3 support (can't say I've tried it out though)

If sound quality is a concern you'd be better off starting with uncompressed audio files... resampling mp3 files will tend to exaggerate compression artefacts.
