From what I understand decompressing the mp3 and re-encoding it will RUIN your sound quality. (we are talking music, right?)

In my view, it would be best to just download a higher bitrate file, 192 is pretty good, and I try not to dl at less than that. If you want to record music onto your comp, I like to use the lame based encoders, using a Variable bit-rate.

For some good reading.

Edit:
Try http://www.cdex.n3.net/ for the CDex program, it uses the Lame encoder, and is the same prog I use, without any trouble so far.
