Tom.. did you find any software that would allow you to set a target format and bitrate for portable devices???

I have lots of room on my hard drive, and like 256 VBR at least for listening on my PC. But on my or my kids mp3 players something like 128 VBR is fine, and let's you store twice as much.

I still haven't found decent mp3 software that will automatically down convert files when I copy them to my music phone, rather than having to burn two different bit rates, and try to keep WMP from finding the low quality ones \:\(
