Is there any method to export several mp3 files in one go?

Hello.
 
I've been using mp3 encoding function of Sonar X2.
I wonder if there is a way to export several mp3 files that have individual track legnth in one go.
 
If I import various wav files to each tracks and try to export them individually by selecting "Tracks" instead of "Entire Mix" in the Source Caterory, they will be exported individually but their length will be same as the longest one. 
For example) 2:20, 1:30, 5:00 ----> 5:00, 5:00, 5:00
 
So my question doesn't seem to be related to mp3 exporting but about how to export several tracks individually in one go preserving their own length.

    AFAIK: I don't think you can. There are programs better suited to doing that, like Media Monkey, Nero, pyro Audio Creator, CD Architect, Audacity...

    To preserve track length rather than exporting:
    Select the tracks
    Bounce to Clips
    Drag clips to a folder

    Thanks for the reply.
    I have CDex and use it for mass mp3 converting.
    But in my experience, mp3 sound quality of Sonar X2 is better than CDex's highest quality setting. So I'm looking for the method how to convert mass mp3 in X2.
     
    My mp3 setting in X2 is :
    44100, 16bit, no dither, fast bounce, 64bit precision(don't know if it applys to mp3 though), 320Kb, max quality and joint stereo(sounds better than stereo).
     
    CDex setting is :
    Lame MP3 encoder 3.99 MMX, MPEG1, 320K, stereo(sounds worse with J-stereo), 44100, and --alt-preset CBR.
     
    In personal, mp3 quality of Cubase is worse than these two, 
    so mp3 quality rank is 1) X2, 2) CDex, 3)Cubase .

    That is interesting. The Cakewalk MP3 encoder is based on LAME 3.97.
     
    If the projects are tracked at higher that 16bit (and they should be if the audio interface supports it) and exported 16bit, there should be a dithering option set.
