Why pay money when you can use FREE apps that do so much more?
Just search for "XLD" here at MacUpdate.

There are soooo many apps that convert audio files to MP3 and a whole lot more that are FREE, easy to use, and even produce higher quality output. Just check out any of the apps in the Similar Software section on this page or search MacUpdate for 'audio converter' or something similar.
It's shameful to charge $4 for this LAME (pardon the pun), one trick pony app when so many much better and more feature-rich free alternatives exist.
BTW, MP3 is an anachronistic, halfassed, low quality audio codec. The codec created specifically to replace MP3 is called AAC (Advanced Audio Codec), and it produces substantially higher fidelity output at lower nitrates. Give it a try and join the 21st century.

Personally, I've never wanted to convert anything to mp3. But, if there are people who do want to do that, WTF? Let them. They don't need to justify their actions to other people. Why is it anyone else's business? You haters sound like those trolls who whine because there are people who value giving up the bucks for a Macintosh over putting together a $500 Linux box in their basement.

I tried this but it the results are not always good. Sometimes even very bad.
I figured out when you are encoding more then one file at the same time it creates audible artifacts.
No support for metadata is bad.

Good Player. Does what it says and works well.
Ignore the negative sheeple comments below. They can't handle simple, good software and seem to believe that iTunes is the answer to everything. Kudos to developer.
