It can do this just fine - for instance, you can go get the MP3 or

Are such things available? It's kind of awkward that Mac OS doesn't
come with an MP3 encoder. I've found LAME packaged as a framework,
but it'd be nicer to have a component that plugged into the regular
audio APIs.
A quick google didn't turn up anything, but if you or anyone else
have links, I'd appreciate them.
Lame is available as an audio codec - we worked with them to make sure
it works correctly and from our last rev with them everything seemed
fine to me.
This link might be useful:

I've used LAME directly in a project and it's very easy to integrate
it with (for instance) a render callback on an audio unit. I've also
had to fiddle with the quality settings to make it really reliable,
but on the whole it's very usable.
The mp3 license situation is still murky though, which is probably why
Apple only licensed iTunes and not a framework.
