Publisher's description of DietMP3
From ENIACJIA SOFTWARE:DietMP3 can significantly reduce (by 30 to 70 percent) the size of an original MP3 file with very minor loss in quality. Rip or grab CD tracks directly to "dieted" MP3 files. These small files allow you to put more songs onto your portable MP3 players without an expensive flash memory upgrade. If you prefer to burn onto a mini CD-R or CD-RW, DietMP3 can help you to place 30 to 70 percent more songs on a disc.

Version: DietMP3 04.03
Pros: Absolutely none.
Cons: All this app does is re-encoding your mp3's to a lower bitrate, thus losing *a lot* of audio quality (don't believe what the authors are saying). Test the audio quality by listening to the "compressed" songs though Hifi music installation, quality headphones/speakers, ... and you'll hear immediately.
If you really want what this app does, then use any other audio program (which can re-encode too).
Don't download this crap software. Seriously!

Version: DietMP3 04.03
Pros: None
Cons: The software converts the MP3 to 96 kbps. It assumes the original music to be in 128 kbps. However, if original music happens to have lesser kbps rating ((say 40 kbps) the output file size would increase significantly ! If you want to decrease the file size by reducing kbps, there are zillions of free utilities to convert MP3 rating. There is absolutely no need to buy this software.

Version: DietMP3 04.03
Pros: I just downloaded this program, and I found very little difference in music quality. I still haven't uploaded anything to my MP3 player, but this program seems to work just fine!
Cons: none so far~!

Version: DietMP3 04.03
Cons: I downloaded it to compress a podcast so that I could burn it to CD. When I played back the CD, however, I got the chipmunks version of the podcast! Definitely didn't work for my purposes!
