For Audacity, follow the instructions over here.
I always use Switch, nice little freeware program which does nothing but convert from wav to mp3. But that it does conveniently well.
After you install the Lame file you can drag the recording straight out of Traktor into Audacity. Go to file>export and you'll be able name the track. There's also an options tab where you can tell Audacity to save it as an mp3 and what bit rate 320K is the norm for songs. but I save all my mixes at 192k. It saves quite a bit of space and since they're mixes and not songs and they're meant to really play out, but more just listen to.
im giving that switch a go, seems a good shout cheers :)
itunes converts wavs to mp3s like it aint no thing
bonus points for id3 tagging as you go...
i do it this way tooQuote:

use itunes...open itunes prefrences and under "general" find import settings...set it to whatever you want then right click the track and boom you have your file
just sorted them out now so will use that next time. can load it straight on my iphone too that way i guess cheers broQuote:

i just put the wav on soundcloud, once you done tagging and converting it takes just as long either way.
as simple as this...Quote:
