Converting .wav files to mp3 format.

Question

Hi,
        I am trying to convert a wav file into mp3 format using the below code. I am not seeing any errors in the console but at the same time the mp3 file is created without any content. Any ideas on how to address this issue ?
  Format[] FORMATS = new Format[] { new AudioFormat(
  AudioFormat.LINEAR) };
  String srcFilePath = "C:" + File.separator + "Users"
  + File.separator + "vkiran" + File.separator + "Desktop"
  + File.separator + "test" + File.separator + "4a714ea2.wav";
  String mp3FilePath = "C:" + File.separator + "Users"
  + File.separator + "vkiran" + File.separator + "Desktop"
  + File.separator + "test" + File.separator + "4a714ea2.mp3";
  File srcFile = new File(srcFilePath);
  File destFile = new File(mp3FilePath);
  MediaLocator source = new MediaLocator(srcFile.toURL());
  DataSource d = Manager.createDataSource(source);
  ContentDescriptor cd = new ContentDescriptor(
  FileTypeDescriptor.MPEG_AUDIO);
  Processor p = Manager.createRealizedProcessor(new ProcessorModel(d,
  FORMATS, cd));
  p.configure();
  System.out.println((p.getDuration()).getSeconds());
  MediaLocator destination = new MediaLocator(destFile.toURL());
  DataSource ds = p.getDataOutput();
  DataSink sink = Manager.createDataSink(p.getDataOutput(),
  destination);
  sink.open();
  sink.start();
  sink.stop();
  sink.close();
  p.stop();
  p.close();

You are converting the WAV files to mp3 format before transferring them to the iPod?
You're using iTunes to do this?
Just for the record, the iPod will not play mp3 files below a bit rate of 32kbps nor will it play compressed WAV files.
