Compressing Mp3's from high bit VBR to 128 CBR

I have a 512 mb Muvo Mp3 player that I use when I jog. I like to compress my LAME encoded MP3's to 128 CBR in order to maximize the amount of music on it. I don't change the songs very often because I have to reprocess each file every time I want to do this. What I am looking for is a way to compress all of my MP3's down to 128 CBR. The catch is all the files are in structured subfolders IE.(A-D\Artist\Album). I want re-encode the files into a new folder. Is there a way to do this in EAC...If there is I can not find it. Or can someone recommend software that can do that?

Thanks

Probably could be done with a batch file or shell script if you're handy with that sort of thing.

Check out dBpowerAMP. While perhaps a new low in intraword capitalization, it's designed to do that kind of thing.

Something like this:


for f in *.mp3 ; do
lame --preset cbr 128 $f new.mp3 && mv new.mp3 $f
done

In that case:


mkdir new
cd old
find . -type d -exec mkdir -p ../new/{} \;
find . -name \*.mp3 -exec lame --preset cbr 128 {} ../new/{} \;
