I am trying to convert mp3 to lower bit rate without changing title,comment,artist and all other tags.

I am trying

ffmpeg -b 64k -i "myfile.mp3" -ab 64k test1.mp3

When i am checking test1.mp3's file it haven't any tag , all tags are removed.

How to keep Tags while converting ?

Use a newer version of ffmpeg. Current versions preserve ID3 tags when converting media files.

See the FFmpeg download page for links to builds for Linux, OS X, and Windows, or refer to a FFmpeg compile guide.

Append "-map_metadata 0" to your command-line on newer versions of ffmpeg to preserve tags.
