Actually the conversions are from wav and mid files not on CD which I
want to convert to mp3 for use on legacy. I never heard of using lame to
convert anything but music cd format? Ill try that on this box.
Actually my music files ripped into both mp3 and ogg the latter came out
about 100k larger on average.

Download and compile lame from:
or download a compiled version from packman:

Can this be done in standard SUSE programs?
Yes, and no, SuSE includes the frontend programs that can do that, but not the actual encoder. This is due to legal restrictions.
Having said that, if you are only going to play the files on your computer, I suggest you use Ogg Vorbis (included with SuSE). It has superior sound quality and the file size are smaller.
