You can get free .wav to .mp3 converters on the net. Even iTunes and Musicmatch Jukebox do it. I'm not sure if 'Kristal' does mp3 exports?

Other than that, Cubase, Sonar, PT, etc. etc.

The LAME encoder that Sourceforge recommends/supplies with Audacity is truly lame because it will only encode at 128 kbps. You can use MediaCoder mediacoder.sourceforge.net/ to convert the WAV files from Audacity to any MP3 bitrate you want. It's free.

True, but the one that Sourceforge supplies for Audacity doesn't. Why? Good question.

If anyone knows how to get it to do so, I'm all ears.

I think that is more a limitation of Audacity's interaction with lame, than it is of Lame itself...as far as I know if you go directly to that lame encoder via command line it will do higher...I think, it's been a while tho.

qwerty@audio:~$ nice man woman
No manual entry for woman

qwerty@audio:~$ [ Where is Jimmy Hoffa?
bash: [: missing `]'

qwerty@audio:~$ make Democratic Iraq
make: *** No rule to make target `Democratic'. Stop.

Using Lame in Sonar goes plenty high here as well.

I hit the LAME button in Audition much too often.
