Exporting audio in Final Cut Pro

Hi guys,
I'm new to video editing and am dabbling with final cut pro and need a little help working with audio files. I basically have an mp3 file that I want to cut a clip out of. I've already converted it to an aiff format so I can work with it in final cut. However, if the final clip I cut out is going to go on an intranet site, what's the best format to save it to, and how do I go about doing it? I'm assuming mp3 would be okay but I don't see an option of exporting as an mp3 when I go to quicktime conversion...only for mp4. I guess I can always open the mp4 in Adobe Soundbooth and save it as an mp3 but I don't know if this is the best way of doing it. I just don't want to start off learning it the incorrect way...if there's anyone out there that can give me some advice, I would really appreciate it!

Mac OS X (10.6.2)

Thanks David..that helps a lot. It is for an intranet site, not internet. I hope you don't mind if I clarify what you wrote before just so I know I'm doing it correctly. 🙂

Right now, the project I'm working on is in final cut pro...you had said I should export as is, so I went to export, using quicktime conversion, picked aiff (same file type as the audio file). If that's correct, what about the settings when I export..do I leave it at 'default'?

Then I opened compressor, went to "add file" and picked my aiff file. I picked the mp3 for audio podcasting setting you had told me about and dragged it onto my aiff file and clicked submit. Is that correct?
