audio recording

[dep]

i have a peculiar little issue that i need to resolve and master today.

n.p.r. wants me to do a little space piece for one of their programs 
tomorrow. i am supposed to go to wshu in fairfield tomorrow morning to 
record the thing. we got two feet of snow, and going anyplace is and 
shall remain problematic. what to do?

i have good microphones and so on here and a decent sound card. it 
occurs to me that i ought to be able to do it in a high quality mp3 and 
email it to them (the show is out of l.a.).

what i do not know is what the best linux application is for mp3 
encoding. ideally, i'd use something which has a nice mixer front end, 
so i can screw around with it (and not have to start at the beginning 
if i kick a word) and then save directly to mp3.

any suggestions?
