without converting to CD quality at worst, re-sampling mp3s is a sure way to lose any bit of quality there was to begin with. it's like when cassettes were the way to go; if you taped a copy of a tape, you start losing quality right away. only it's about 200 times worse with mp3s. get a program like Audacity, open the mp3 (it will automatically convert it) and then export it again at a lower bit rate. at least then you will keep the mp3 quality.
