    For all your MP3 needs go to http://www.raum.com/mpeg/, by far the
    best player and converter is SoundApp at version 2.5 or so check
    http://www.versiontracker.com, it will convert from and to most any
    sound type (it has "two rocks to bang together" for Windoze WAV
    files). And, the latest version of Quicktime should also decode MP3s.

    Not neccesarily supposedly the newest version of Toast can do it,
    but, there are some bugs, for more money there's Jam (by the Toast
    people http://www.adaptec.com/products/solutions/cdrec.html) and
    WaveBurnere by Emagic (a good Geraman music software group) that
    after a demo at MacWorld 2000; I was quite impressed
    (http://www.emagic.de/english/products/software/waveburner.html).
