No, Layer 3 has improvements like a bit reservoir, huffman coding
for the samples, different sized subband emulation, a 36 point idct
on top of the subbands.
It's pretty much a mess, they threw every algorithm in they could
find. That's what makes mp3 much more vulnerable to bad encoder
settings.

Cheers,
  Michael.

You are confusing "mp3".

mp3 == MPEG 1 Layer 3 (or, at your option, also MPEG 2 L3 or MPEG 2.5 L3)
mp2 == MPEG 1 Layer 2

Decode using lame, mplayer, mpg123 or whatever, encode using twolame.

mencoder or transcode. You can wrote a simple Bash script with a FOR
loop to automate it. However, as the say goes: "lossy to lossy, it will
sound like ass (arse)."

did you try lame? the man page is a mess, but the product is 
aimed at any mp3 job?

Well there is sox , but its not clear it will convert
from 3 to 2, as it does not address layer at all, 
at least not under that term.

Isn't the primary difference a fixed bitrate in mp2?
