Answer 1

Gstreamer (a large open source media framework including playback,recording, streaming,editing and conversion of many media file types including mp3s)c# bindings probably but I'm not sure how good/stable they are especially on windows http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/ http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/releases/gstreamer-sharp/0.9.2.html

Answer 2

You could use ffmpeg. It will practically convert everything you'll feed it to mp3. You'll need a windows build (can be found here). Drop the ffmpeg folder into your project and execute commands using System.Diagnostics.Process. Example can be found here:

The ffmpeg command you could use:

ffmpeg.exe -b 192k -i yourinputfilespath output.mp3

There is also a c# wrapper for ffmpeg, but i never used it: code.google.com/p/ffmpeg-sharp/
