Which software to create mp3 on mac?

Post by lapieuvre » Sun Jun 19, 2011 5:07 am

I just got a Mac, and I find it complicated to do mp3, especially after working with dbpoweramp on a PC (right click on the file, and you have an mp3, just like you would zip)

Is there such a software for mac? ( a one step mp3 creator?)

Thanks

please don't tell me itunes!

I use compressor - came with logic studio but might be available on app store.
Nothing to see here - move along!

Oui. La pieuvre est moins populaire au Québec, plutôt les calmars!

Moi chui de montreal, maintenant a Osaka, pour je ne sait qu'elle raison! Mais j'suis plus pieuvre que Calmar en tout cas! Trop coriace ce calmar... je le laisse à ma femme!

Back on topic, on pc, is there a difference in compression quality between dbpoweramp and itunes?? I let bandcamp.com do the compression for me last time I realesed an album but maybe I can do better here!?

Max. iTunes doesn't use the LAME encoder by default, which is considered one of the better MP3 conversion algorithms.

I'll answer you by my original question:
I just got a Mac, and I find it complicated to do mp3, especially after working with dbpoweramp on a PC (right click on the file, and you have an mp3, just like you would zip)
I thought there would be a MAC app that would do right click mp3
