Good .WAV to .MP3 Converter?

why don't you just use itunes. if you go in your settings you can set up how you want your conversion feature to work. i convert my wav files to 320kbps mp3s all the time, and they sound pretty good for the most part.

i just use ffmpeg. it's command line but simple once u get the hang of it. i tend to run it on a bunch of wavs, archive the wavs in case i need them and just store the mp3's on my local hdd.

Lame from Audiacity for a big batch of files, generally though I'd just iTunes to do it though at 320k - haven't noticed any real difference between the two.

I've tried itunes on the best settings and i get songs with lower volume and lost in the brightness and richness ff the sound...I'm i doing anything wrong?

I would normally process the file first in audacity, but you did say you are Making the mashups in Ableton first, in which case I'd probably stick a bit of compression or limiting on the track to allow for a volume increase, the volume should not be so low that a conversion makes that much of an audible difference.
