I have Protools HD 3 and TOAST 10 Platinum and don't see where to rip MP3 format?

OP do you mean the cheapest and quickest way or do you actually want the "best" quality?

Atzlan,

I've tried loadsa different ways and this little gem does it the best:

It does all sorts of excellent file converting jobs as well (including to and from SDII format for instance). It's a little funky to first get your head around, but once you have it set up, it's the best sounding MP3 convertor I've tried. You can set the MP3 conversion quality to "Best" and a typical 3.5 min song clocks, in at about 5-8 meg. Just perfect to attach to a Hotmail email (ie: 10 meg limit).

Hope this helps

I use Audiofinder, also useful for sample editing and a ton of other things.
