    Right click (cntl+click) on the file in I-tunes and select “Show Song File” it opens a finder window with the selected clip highlighted.

    Since the batch process here would probably put all the files in the same folder a “Show Song File” would give you the whole batch, and you could drag them to whever you need.

    The first step of changing your preferences only needs to be done once. So once you have your preferences set up your workflow would be:

    one click and drag to open your files in I-Tunes
    another click to highlight your files (if they aren’t already highlighted)
    (cntl+click)and select “Convert selection to MP3”
    When its done you (cntl+click) one of the new MP3 files and select “Show Song File”

    and there they are! 3 or 4 mouse clicks and a batch of files is converted! Seems to me it doesn’t get much simpler than that.

    One other thing that would help this work better is if you have I-tunes show the column “Kind” that way you can tell you MP3s from whatever the originals are.

    [Rich Rubasch] “And it’s PC only and the subject is MP3 Encoder for MAC!!!”

    SoundConverter is a Cocoa OSX application for converting sound files between different sound formats. It is free for files under 500K and $10 for license. Note that not all wav and wma encodings are supported.

    Well I wasn’t expecting so many suggestions. Thanks for all the input everyone. I’ll try some of those.

    I like Google. You had better learn to also. They’ll own us all soon enough.

    [Cephus] “I’ve looked in compressor. I couldn’t seem to find any settings related to MP3s. That would be perfect though.”

    Sorry, my bad.
    Compressor only does AAC. Its superior to MP3, but I can understand you needing to work with the more common format.
