I have several wav files I want to reduce to mp3 so they will take up less space.
Download and compile lame from: http://lame.sourceforge.net/ or download a compiled version from packman: http://packman.links2linux.org/
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.
