I use Adobe Audition to encode, rip, and generally fardle about with my files.
I wandered in here to see if anyone else had been annoyed by having to dig through their folders to find the original "Cakewalk 9 pro" disk, with each new build, so they could output MP3 files, to at least avoid being spammed by the app. every time they hit the "export as MP3" button.
BTW. the cakewalk encoder has never been much chop IMHO... not enough control.
Audition/Cool Edit has always been the better product, at least for me.
Sorry if this doesn't help to solve your current "challenge"...as I said I wandered in here after reading the topic header, in the hope of finding that Cakewalk had decided that MP3s are really rather common these days,and decided to just let it become a regular option, rather than a sales opportunity
