Convert CBR MP3 files to VBR?

Three things to remember:

1. Converting from one lossy format to another lossy format (in this case .mp3 -> .mp3) may cause significant degradation of the sound.
2. Converting to VBR will not replace data that's already been removed when the file was originally created from a CD.
3. The preferred solution is to re-rip the original files off a CD and convert them to VBR.

That said, WinLAME will do what you want to do.

Most of my source files are FLAC, so not a huge problem :P
