If you need to encode MP3 audio files on the Mac then using tools such as Episode and Sorenson Squeeze are obviously good choices for this. There are MP3 encoding presets already built into both applications. If you're trying to save money a free tool that you can use is called Audacity. This tool was first recommended to me by Brian Alves, one of the world's leading podcasters and host of The DV Show. If you have AIFF source files Audacity can encode them. To use Audacity for encoding MP3 files you'll need to download and install the Audacity application and the LAME mp3 encoder available on the Audacity website under downloads.
