bulk conversion works well

Fyi, I just found the following instructions in a thread on the Legacy forum:

"Just figured out another way to do it. I'm not sure if this will work for hundreds of files at once, but it just worked for me with four of them:
- Drag all of (or a bunch of) your wav files into Audacity. It will create a new track for each one.
- In the File menu, choose "Export multiple...", and have it "split files based on tracks".
- It will let you choose metadata for each file, all at once.
- Then it will do the conversions all at once, while you make a sandwich."

Using this method I was able to convert over 200 WAV files (3GB total size) to MP3 in one pass!
