https://www.videolan.org/vlc/ <-- There's nothing better, and it'll run all your audio/video needs, without having to download any codecs or anything else.
(Note that the video there doesn't show how to set bit rates or channels and such, but those are customizable as well in VLC. Just click the little wrench icon for settings near the mp3 name/type when you choose mp3 as your converted type.)
