I need a way to convert .wav to > .mp3 files, and ffmpeg is what I use on my linux at home... Try the audio/lame port. It's a high-quality mp3 encoder. In some countries you might need one or several patent licenses to use MP3 encoders. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MP3#Licensing_and_patent_issues Generally most people ignore these patents, I think. You might also want to look at the audio/vorbis-tools port. Generally Ogg Vorbis files are smaller than mp3. Also those tools and its format are not encumbered by patents. For the highest quality, use lossless encoding as used by audio/flac. AFAIK, pretty much all sound/multimedia playback programs available on Free= BSD and Linux support all these formats.
