Right the majority of my MP3's run at 192kbps, which is fine for running on my PC. But I have been advised that the batteries on my MP3 player will last much longer if this is lower say under 100kbps. So are there any tools/converters that you have that can do this. Are there any disadvantages? And will the file size decrease? Thanks in advance...

Why not carry more batteries?
Try CDex (cdexos.sourceforge.net) or dbPowerAmp.
Oh and unless i can make the battery last longer, theres no real point getting another card to store more music...

Hmmm, i may try and drop the Kbps and try it out on a few files if the size decreases and there is no noticable drop in quality then it means i can fit more on my player, and hopefully with the Kbps being lower the battery will last long enough for me to play them all...

I can see the logic in that, but being solid state (the whole point of MP3 players) then it shouldn't really make a difference. Unless it's something like an iPod which uses a hard disk for storage, so a smaller file size = less hard disk activity.
So any advice on how to make the batteries last longer. The player takes on AAA rechargable and only lasts a couple of hours... but i saw somewhere that if the Kbps is smaller then the battery life is longer...

But i have a few that run at 92Kbps and they seem fine...

Advantage: smaller file size.
Disadvantage: poorer sound quality.

I wouldn't go any lower than around 132Kbps.
