That someone was me and thanks for the new command. I didn't know
afconvert existed. Seems like there ought to be a way to pipe the file
output from say into afconvert but I wasn't able to figure that out.
While fiddling with that I also stumbled upon another new command
pbcopy. Whatever you pipe into pbcopy goes onto the Mac clipboard. So I
could do
ls | pbcopy
and then goto textedit and paste in a current directory list. As you
might expect, there is also pbpaste.

Someone suggested:
"There is probably some clever way to do it from the GUI but I'm
comfortable doing stuff in terminal so here is how I would do it. Get a
text file with what you want said. In terminal do
say -o audiofile.aiff < textfile.txt
That will use voiceover to generate an aiff audio file of the spoken
version of whatever text is in textfile.txt. You can then load up that
AIFF into iTunes to convert it to mp3 or use Sox if you have that"
Me:
While in terminal use afconvert to convert audio file type. Instead of
the aif output for say choose the caf instead. Afconvert can then
convert the caf type into mp3.
Afconvert can also handle ios types for use on iphone etc.
