Hi Melissa, 1. Start CDEX.
2. Press F4 to bring up the CDEX configurations. 3. Go to the encoder tab by pressing ctrl+tab. 4. Press tab until you get to the encoder combo box. 5. Arrow up and down between the various encoders. If you want reasonably high bit rate output files, select the Lame MP3 encoder. If you want low bit rate (small) files which it sounds like you do, select the Windows MP3 codec. 6. When on the desired encoder, tab to bitrate selection and arrow up and down until you get to the one you want. 7. For the Windows MP3 codec, you probably won't want to change any of the other defaults, so tab to ok and press enter. 8. Go to the convert menu, arrow down to Re-encode compressed audio file and press enter. 9. In the dialog which opens up, select the files you wish to convert. 10. Tab to the delete original checkbox and uncheck it if you don't want your original files to be deleted. 11. Tab to convert and press enter. The converted files will be placed in the usual output location for CDEX (by default with Windows XP, this is C:\Documents and Settings\yourname\My Documents\My Music\MP3. I hope this helps.
