And there’s Audacity…
Almost forgot to write about Audacity. If you're into podcasting – of the audio sort – then you can surely use this free tool. I was somewhat overwhelmed by it at first, but after locating the Record button, I felt a lot better.
Generally most of the podcasting software will record in WAV or other formats that are not MP3. But since MP3's so darn popular, Audacity does come with an Export function. To activate it you'll have to find and download the lame_enc.dll file and tell Audacity where it is (instructions here). Once that's done, you're all set to deliver. I just sent a mail substitute that was 17 mins long with Audacity. I've still to get a response, but initial feedback's been great. Maybe I'll just dump mails in favor of podcasts… and blogs!
