DietMP3 is a compression tool that reduces the size of an MP3 file. For example, if you don't have enough space to store your music, this software comes in handy.

The user interface is pretty basic. So, users with any kind of experience level can easily navigate through it.

On the left side of the window you select the source folder, on the upper right part you select the files found in that source folder, and the finished tasks are displayed below.

The idea is simple: you select an MP3 file you wish to compress, set the output path (in the Options menu), and Start Diet.

We put three MP3 files to the test, and the time it took DietMP3 to convert each file was pretty fast.

The first two were a success: the sound quality was fairly maintained (although no one told us it wouldn't be perfect), and size was reduced by more than a half.

The third file was completely ruined in matter of sound quality, and the track (which was slightly longer than the first ones) actually doubled in size.

In Program Settings (found in Options), you can select the type of player (MP3 Portable Player, Cell Phone, Pocket PC, Palm PDA, or Other MP3 Device), quality (CD Quality, FM Radio Quality, Tape Quality, Telephone Quality), and effect (Mono or Stereo).

There's also a help file available, and CPU and memory resources are minimally used.

So, if you want to store more MP3 files than your device can currently handle, then use DietMP3. Just make sure to check the output file to be certain everything is in order.
