About MP3 Compression
MP3 is the world's most popular audio format. While MP3 is already a lossy compressed format, many MP3 files are encoded at higher bitrates than necessary — a podcast at 320kbps is usually indistinguishable from 128kbps, yet four times larger.
CocoConvert's MP3 compressor re-encodes your audio at a lower bitrate while maintaining the best possible quality using the LAME encoder. For speech content (podcasts, audiobooks, lectures), 64-128kbps is perfectly adequate. For music, 192kbps provides transparent quality.
Additionally, CocoConvert strips ID3 tags, album art, and metadata when requested — album art alone can add 500 KB to each MP3 file.
Batch compression handles your entire podcast library or music collection. Pro users: 100 files per hour.
