Hi, I have many files stored on my Brenan JB7 (OK!) and backed up on an
external HD. To preserve full quality I saved them uncompressed and
they are in .wav format. I want to put them onto my MP3 players (Cowon
and Samsung ACE phone) but would like to compress them in order to get
more onto the players.

I guess you mean level compress in addition to the data 'compression' that
mp3 applies.

Please can anyone advise as to the best way of doing this? Are there
good, free wav to MP3 converters that allow compression? Detailed
advice is needed!

My first guess would be sox if you want to reprocess music and probably do
it to a large batch of files. But I don't normally use mp3, nor level
compress. So you'd need to check it does this. You may want 'earwax' as
well, though.

Slainte,
