You could also go from mp3 320 to mp3 160 (gaining disk space
but losing quality). But going from 160 to 320 is like adding white
pages to your book. Takes more space, but there's nothing more in it.

Very well put, excellent explanation. Also if transcoding from lossy to lossy is required, it's better to do so within the same codec (i.e. mp3 to mp3 as the OP was proposing), as the different lossy codecs often use different psycho-acoustic models to determine what data they eliminate to achieve the desired output compression level set by the user (i.e. 128 kbps).
