Hi Chris,
There is also an iTunes LAME plugin:
http://www.blacktree.com/apps/iTunes-LAME/
I discovered the program Max the other week, which is a mass encoder/
converter:
http://sbooth.org/Max/
I've read that MPC is one of the better among lossy formats.
Personally, I'd download FLAC if it were available. As long as
there's MP3 encoded at 320kbps, FLAC running around ~500kbps isn't
much more bandwidth for lossless quality.
