I used to create wav files with the Windows Sound Recorder, then
convert them to wma or mp3 file with two pieces of software downloaded
free from the Internet. I don't remember the names of those software.
If anyone knows, please tell me.

I record my own voice for linguistic discussion. I could have created
wma or mp3 files directly with upgrading the software. But I strictly
followed the way my friend taught me, which is creating wav files first
and then converting.

Thanks.

There are dozens of shareware and freeware applications out there. Google
is you friend.

Yes. Each file consists of only a few words, and lasts less than 15
seconds, I believe. But I must create many such small files. Thanks
for the informaton.

The one minute limitation is easy to overcome of course. Though, as
more friendly software is now freely available, it doesn't really
matter any more :-)

It does some things great, but chokes on other things.
For example, I was unable to get it to transcode high-rate
stereo MP3s to low-rate mono MP3.
