Tools
The free audio editor Audacity allows you to re-encode problematic audio files to MP3 format (CBR, 128-192kbit, 44.1khz, joint stereo). All you have to do is to install the LAME MP3 encoder plugin and adjust the MP3 bitrate (128-192 kbps) in the Audacity preferences, under MP3 export settings.
If you need further control over specific LAME options, for example to disable the bit reservoir (-nores), you can use the RazorLame frontend.
