Alleycat, my son-in-law, the IT prof, has just offered to do this, he will add another page specially for podcasts. He can do all the fancy stuff. I was thinking of clicking on an image, but might use words! Need to see the layout first.
So all I need to do is make a good recording and save it as an MP3 file then?
Ben, you lost me but thank you, and Son-in-law will be with it!
Alleycat and Ben, since MtheM thinks that MP3 is a bad format, what do you think would be better? I think it might be fortunate that I haven't the faintest idea what she is complaining about otherwise!
Yeah, mp3's aren't "bad," I think the warning was about file size in general. Audio (and video) files of any format tend to be larger than other files, and the 1 megabyte per minute of audio is a good measure for high quality, though with mono voice you can get away with a LITTLE bit lower bitrate, maybe as low as 96kbps which results in files about 3/4 the size as 128k. Too low a bitrate and it starts to sound like it's underwater, the "s" sounds become annoying, and it gets hard to listen to.Mp3 are pretty much the best size / quality efficient format out there. You can get smaller files with, say wma but, the quality will be worse.
128kbps mp3's take roughly 1mb per minute. At least, they do for me when I use Audacity.
