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.

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.

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.

And so is xACT, XLD, ALL2MP3, and probably others. They all work great, and are also free. There's nothing wrong with paying for software of course, and this is cheap enough, but, how is it better than those products mentioned?

Personally X Lossless Decoder is my preferred audio encoder.

Don't forget, just because some people decide that AAC is the way forward doesn't mean we all have to follow like sheep and adopt it. If this were so then nothing would be printed any longer as it can all be read on PC's, Mac's, tablets and phones. Billions of people around the world still use: vinyl, cassette tape, DAT, MD, DCC & Video Tape among others for storage, projects or just to use normally. I for one find the CHOICE important, and seeing that I've just bought a waterproof MP3 player this software will come in handy in order to convert the songs I wish to.

Yu also don't have to import music into iTunes as AAC. You can set it for MP3.
You sound like a Windows user.

Why the hell should you have to: 1) Import them into iTunes. 2) Find them and make a playlist. 3) Convert them to MP3. 4) Delete the original songs AND the MP3's from iTunes. ??? Bit of a job if you ask me.

Since this is a Mac software website, I made the assumption that everyone would have and or use iTunes. So I guess you don't have an iPod, huh?

But those who migrated to Mac because of their iPod, iPhone, or iPad experience who don't know about the rich software treasury that is MacUpdate will do a search on the App Store, see this app prominently displayed, and buy it without even a trial.
There's no incentive for the App Store exclusive developers to offer trials and downloads for those of us who do not want to use the App Store, because we tend to be more knowledgable about the state of Mac software and would know better than to give money for a lot of those apps that are only =< the free alternatives.
