If you create MP3s from Wavs there are a couple of tricks which help you being faster and producing a better result:
FIRST:
Install AudioShell: http://www.softpointer.com/downloads/AudioShell135.exe
Once you install it you can right click on a mp3 and you can edit the so called "mp3 tag" which means you can add album artwork, edit comments, year, bpm, album, artist, composer, website etc. etc.
This will make your mp3 look much better on most mp3 players. Especially if you add album artwork. I find it very annoying that I have to do this myself for professionally, commercially downloaded mp3s
SECOND:
You can have a "right click to convert to mp3" option for wav files:
1. Download lame encoder from http://www.free-codecs.com/Lame_Encoder_download.htm
2. Extract lame.exe to somewhere sensible (e.g. C:Program Fileslame.exe)
3. In an Explorer window, go Tools > Folder Options
4. Click on the File Types tab
5. Scroll down to WAV; select it
6. Click on the Advanced button
7. Click New... to add a new right click association
8. In Action, type in Convert to 320kbps MP3 (or something descriptive)
9. In Application used, type in the following (including quotes):
"C:Program Fileslame.exe" -b 320 -q 0 "%1" "%1.mp3"
10. Click OK, OK, Close
11. Voila! You can now right click WAV files in Windows, and an option will appear to convert it automatically into an MP3. You can also do this for batch conversion.
Of course you can change the bit rate or add multiple such commands for different bit trates. Here you find the possible commands: http://www.multimediasoft.com/asrec/help/asrec_00003f.htm - I made the commandline so it converts in highest possible quality, but it is slowest possible too... but I think we all agree here, that it is worth it.
Some of the things I miss on my mac...
