    MP3 is proprietary and requires a license.  It's an added cost that Cakewalk didn't want to make mandatory for their customers.
    You can buy one, use a LAME encoder, or do what I do: export to WAV and then use iTunes (or any other music software that already has the conversion ability) to create an MP3.

    I like the MP3 patents are pretty much on the way out so this shouldn't be an issue much longer...

    The first 3 books in "The Musician's Guide to Home Recording" series are available from Hal Leonard and http://www.reverb.com. Listen to my music on http://www.YouTube.com/thecraiganderton, and visit http://www.craiganderton.com. Thanks!

    I export the wav and then use this to convert to mp3 - been using it for years and it's excellent:

    I just bought the encoder...I think it was $20.00.  Let's you put in the MP3 data as well (Artist, Title, etc.)

    Audacity works well taking the exported wav files and converting to mp3.
