any software that lower bitrates of mp3 files in a folder all at once (export them with a lower bitrate, not just play them)?  anything will do good,linux.. windows, dont care.

You could do it from the command line in Linux with lame.

For example:

Code: [Select]

Will make song2.mp3 with mono output and 64 kbs bitrate from song.mp3.

You could make a looping structure to parse all files in a directory.
