If he is doing mixing for you then, he really would be better to use wave files. When you convert to .MP3, you loose a bit of quality, even at high bitrates such as that. You could use a file sending service such as: www.yousendit.com/ Or: www.sendthisfile.com/ Both of these services are free to use.

I need to send some tracks to someone who is doing some mixing for me and he needs it in 320 kb MP3's. I tried using I tunes, but had no luck. Some one told me that windows media player can convert files to MP3's that are ripped from a CD, but that it couldn't rip from the hard drive which is where all my files are. Are there any jaws friendly programs out there that I can use to convert my wave files to MP3's? I've also noticed that in the export dialog in sonar there is a option to convert your file to MP3, but when I choose this option I get a message saying that I need to go to the cakewalk website for an MP3 encoder. I didn't have any luck finding an MP3 encoder on the cakewalk website. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
