What is best method to create mp3 on Mac?
I think I understand that Live 7 can not export to mp3. But I need mp3 as input to SoundSlides application. Please tell me the best quality tool or method to go from Live 7 to an mp3.
A free tool is great so long as it has very good quality.
Thanks.

Slowly killing my wife with Live 7 !
I use Max for this, converts to a TON of different formats and uses LAME encoding for MP3's.

I use AudioFinder and occasionally iTunes

iTunes uses it's own encoder for MP3 conversion, not LAME which many people prefer. There's an add on you can install for iTunes LAME conversion, but I perosnally never got it to work right. I don't see how ripping a CD can be better than converting from wav myself, slower too.

And regarding the superiority of LAME, here's one set of comparisons and here's another but there are quite a few out there. Not all MP3 encoders are equal. As free ones go, you can't get much better than LAME.
