How do I convert an mp3 file so that it is smaller?

[cdeppish]

I need to convert an mp3 file into a smaller version so I can send it to my yahoo group. I tried sending it as it is and received an error message saying it was to big. Please help!

Thanks,

Charlie

Lower the bitrate, make it mono, and lower the frequency.

If that is still too large, try making a compressed WAV-mp3 file. Just select WAV as your file type, choose compressed, pick mp3 and choose a setting.
