In Sequoia export > audio as mp3, will export the entire project from track marker to track marker, as any mp3 encoding rate chosen with the ID3 tag as the CD text. Takes 5 minutes.

Wow. That's really nice ... and a not-so-minor example from among the list of reasons I feel I need to assimilate to Sampquoia. I do so wish I could do so without having to add another computer to my pile, and a windows rig at that.
For the meantime, on my Mac-rigs, I typically use a 'workflow' in Sample Manager, which can do the conversion and deposit the finished files on the FTP server without another thought.
It only gets labor-intensive if they ask for full ID3 tagging. ..

IMHO, in this economy it is not a good idea to start adding on a lot of extra charges (or raising prices).If you do you may see your clients looking elsewhere. Too many "mastering engineers" and not enough clients who need their services.

I think we need the voice actor that plays Eeyore to read your posts sometimes, Thomas.
I don't charge more than my basic reference parts costs for simple MP3s, unless it's full-service with ID3 tagging, in multiple formats and such, but. .. in those cases, the client knows they're asking me to take on something time-intensive, or are otherwise aware that it's a request for a service. Others likely do it themselves on any of the zillions of free apps that can do the job, but I've never had any grousing or pushback about a reasonable additional parts-fee for that heavier level of file-cooking.
