I've been disappointed with iTunes as a mp3 encoder. It was originally
based on soundjam, is in fact that program reworked. I used to use and
liked soundjam. But, the rich controllability of the encoding in
soundjam has been limited, many options are not there. I've not gotten
as good a results as I can with Peak or SparkXL in comparisons.

Plus iTunes is busy stuffing your hard disk with everything you do,
requiring effort to get rid of it. I definitely don't want every temp
mp3 I make added to the library and cataloged. Even just playing
something does that in iTunes.
