How to Resize an MP3 File

MP3 files are audio files that can be burned to a CD or played on your MP3 player. Because of the nature of these media, space is limited. As a result, the ability to resize an MP3 file can be useful for saving space and fitting more music onto your MP3 player or CD. MP3Resizer is a lightweight tool that can help you down-sample your files, but you can use other similar programs, such as MP3 Reduce II.
