So don't get rid of those MP4's right away, if you have devices that will play them (and if you have iTunes, you probably do...) they will sound better than your second generation MP3 files.
Yup good call. I knew that, but good to remember for others reading. I just need to make MP3's for a different player. I'll probably delete them when I'm done the job.
