The final destination of these MP3's will be for use in production libraries where I will not know if they intend to do any futher processing to the files.

I wouldn't mess with more dither if the output file is gonna be an MP3 (if you don't hear any digital artifacts, why bother?), and I would hope that nobody would do any further processing to your MP3's - that would not only be redundant but detrimental at some point.

If 'they' decide to do any further processing to an MP3, let them figure it out.
Your CD is done, right? What more do you want?

Why not just use a free or shareware MP3 converter?

Better yet, import the files from the CD into a 16 bit session and then export them to mp3. Easy Peasy.

Import to a 16-bit session then export to MP3? I like that. It's a simple solution.

I'll keep my ears open for any digital weirdness as well. Thanks very much.

Happy New Year,

Geez, you could just load the disc into iTunes and have it do the whole thing in three clicks.

iTunes: Another good solution that I overlooked.

Thanks,
