You can save your files as MP2's if you're using an Audioscience card or Rivendell 2 (with any card).
I believe this setting is inside rdadmin -> hosts -> whatever machine -> rdlibrary Change pcm/wav to mp2 and select a bitrate. I am in the middle of nuking my riv 2 test network so don't have the screens to hand. Apologies for the hazy recollection but its in rdadmin -> rd library settings somewhere.
