Thanks for the response David.
I think I am less concerned about encoding the final audio to mp3.
I am more interested in finding an API or framework for taking multiple
sound files whether they are wav or even quicktime and merging them into
a single one for output. I think at this time this is the most
difficult or questionable part. Are you familiar with what is provided
within Mac OSX? Is what I described feasible and is functionality
provided through Mac coreaudio-api?
I am just switching most of my work environment over to Mac so am a bit
wet behind the ears.
Thanks,

I am working on designing a web based application which takes
multiple "sound files" (mp3/swf/wav) allows them to be reorganized
(spaced, looped, etc). When completed with "mix" the information is
saved in a configuration format which is sent back to a server
(Linux/Mac) which can then take the multiple files and the
configuration information to then create a single audio file
preferably mp3.
I am currently researching the server side portion for taking the
configuration information to create the single audio file.
My question is it seems with Mac's extensive API this should be
possible? Is it? Anyone have experience with this that can point me
in any specific direction?
Apple doesn't ship an mp3 encoder on the system. You have two options
- get an mp3 encoder that works with Quicktime/CoreAudio, or get a
library that allows you to encode to mp3 (such as LAME). Either way,
it is not automatic (due to mp3 licensing restrictions iirc).
If you go the LAME route, then you can probably deploy on either Mac
or Linux server side, so that might be an option you want to look into
as well.

Failure is not an option. It is a privilege reserved for those who try.
