Pros:
Simple & Easy interface, no technical knowledge is required for working on DietMP3, little bit of common sense will do. The option wizard is grate for layman.
Cons:
An option with technical customization would make this software my favorite. I think a trimmer should also be added for this type of software.
Review:

I am sure even my granny can convert & compress her music files to mp3 for her mobile without any hassles. This software is absolutely a great utility for those who just need an mp3 converter or compresser for their multiple devices (e.g. mobile,pda, mp3 player etc.).

Just select the files and then devices from the options wizard and start the "diet". In a few seconds, you will get the music file compatible to your device. Diet MP3 has very few options and menus. It will hardly take a few minutes to master the program (in case you struggle, there is a well documented ‘help’ file to assist you).

I certainly would have appreciated the presence of a modification option. So that finicky people like me can fidgit with it for custom quality preferences.

As far as the compression is concerned, obviously file size will go down when you convert a 192kpbs or 128kpbs bit rate file to 96kpbs and reduce the sample rate too.

Even other software title can do the trick at that bit rate and sample rate that DietMP3 does. Reducing the bit rate and sample rate means you are definitely compromising in quality. Of course sometimes the difference may be so little that you mayn’t notice it but it's there for sure.

Conclusion:

This software is a great utility for end users having zero knowledge of music editing. A little bit of modification can make this software a favorite one for professionals too. The software is a value for the money you spend buying it.
