Hi guys.

I'm looking for good freeware which will enable me to compress large audio files (mp3) so they are small enough to send via email.

I've tried WinZip and a few others but they don't compress the files enough and I can't find any way in the software to increase the degree of compression.

As an example, I have an 11.4MB MP3 that when I convert using WinZip, FreeZip or other 'zipware' only reduces it to around 9.34MB. That's still to large for most people's in-boxes.

I'd like to compress it to less than 6MB but can't find a way to do this in these programs.

Any suggestions? Any recommendations of other good, easy-to-use software which preferably doesn't cost an arm and a leg?

Many thanks.
