Shrinking mp3 for my mp3 palyer in linux

[baccilus]

I need a software which can encode WMA to mp3 of desired bitrate or atleast shrink my mp3's to the desired bitrate.

Is there any way I can do this without booting into m$?

For shrinking I know of a Sound Converter (Thats what its called, sound-converter, install via a package manager). It supports MP3 for sure, but am not sure about WMA conversion. Give it a shot though.

MEncoder ? FFMPEG ? VLC ?

Thanks mediator. But are there any GUI based softwares for this?
Qwerty@ Thanks buddy. It's sort of the thing I am looking for. I think this will work for me Thanks a lot.

Np. If its an old version (Like the one from Ubuntu's repositories) do wait until the tags are all loaded in the list before hitting convert, else it throws up errors for some weird reasons.

Or make this go away by, manually installing the latest version
