Any computer geeks willing to help an old man with bit rate question?

I'm trying to convert cassettes to cd's, using a trial version of Blaze Audio. When I save the wave file to MP3 it's saved with 56kps and I'm not sure if this is right or not, most of my MP3 files are 128kbs. Following the suggestion of the help topics in the program, I downloaded LAME and saved it to Windows Media Player. Then I realized this is for playback. I also can't find it now.



So, here's my question/s = How do you change the bitrate from 56kbs to 128kbs to record an MP3 file? I'll need some step by step instructions. I'm using a HP Pavilion pc with XP-Pro OS.Any computer geeks willing to help an old man with bit rate question?

you can also try audacity (a bit of editing is also possible



http://audacity.sourceforge.net/



But you will not get cd quality from lp/cassette to mp3



youcan also try musicmatch jukebox (i have not used the new versions)

some of the bitrate restrictions might be due to shareware/trial restrictions of your softwareAny computer geeks willing to help an old man with bit rate question?
