I do a lot of audio conversion for my website.
For .wav to .mp3 conversion it is necessary to perform a compression operation,
so not all software supports it. Note that most all programs can open a .wav
file, so you are looking for an "MP3 exporter" not a specific "WAV to MP3
converter".
On the Mac there are several programs that I know can do this. Be aware that
this operation is usually under the "Podcast" sections of these programs:
Paid Apps:
I use Bias Peak which has a downloadable plug-in for mp3 compression. The Apple
tools Soundtrack and Compressor can do it as well, though it is not as
straightforward.
All of the studio recording software programs- Logic, Pro Tools, and Live can
do this, but that is not what they are intended for, so it would be a big
learning curve just if you haven't used them before.
Free Apps:
Garage Band probably can do this. I know you can import .wav files into a
podcast project, and then "Send to iTunes" using mp3 compression.
Audacity is the standard freeware for audio editing, but I have never used it.
Hope this helps.
