It very much depends on the reason you are compressing it.
If its mono and does not need to be very good, just passable then the lower
bit rates work fine. However you can get some good results using variable
bit rate mp3 that sound less gritty than the normal ones do.
I'd convert it several times and decide for yourself. Audacity or Goldwave
might be handy tools but if you have a good codec pack installed on the pc
its usually those which do the work.

I need help from the specialists on this group.


Please download and examine the following WAV file;

http://www.c-compiler.com/myfiles/stgeorges-201219.WAV

I want to convert this to an MP3 file.

Please tell me what settings I should use for the MP3 file, eg; MP3
Fraunhofer IIS MPEG Layer-3 Codec (professional), attributes eg 128
kbit/sec, 48.000 Hz, Mono

Please try to give specfic advice, because my understanding of audio
formats is poor, and I need guidance as to the best MP3 parameters for
this conversion.

Thank you for your help.
