Encyclopedic knowledge file number 2

[heyblue41]

Okay.  I have made another encyclopedic knowledge file for my great inventors 2 category.  My problem is the file is 30MB.  How can I shrink the file?  Lappy did it for me last time.  I am sure it is because of the audio files ( 11 for each inventor).  I don't have much experience editing sound files,but if anybody could help me figure out how to get these files smaller, I would greatly appreciate it.  I think I need to convert them to mp3 instead of wav files.  I probably need to change the bit rate also.  Thanks for your help so I can share my file!

I use NCH switch to convert audio files. What program are you using to record them? Most programs give you the option of changing the type of recording.

I have just been using the sound recorder that comes with little reader.  I don't know that I have any other program on my computer.  I have never needed to record anything before, so I don't know if there is one in my bundle or not!  Where can I get this nch switch?  Is it expensive?

http://www.nch.com.au/switch/plus.html  I think they have a free trial. It's about $20 to purchase it from their site. It's 50% off right now. But if you use windows sound recorder (loctated in accessories) you can change the bitrate and everything, even for existing files.

Please note that the Sound Recorder that "comes with little reader" does not actually come with LR.
That is actually the WINDOWS SOUND RECORDER, yes, the same one Nikki was referring to that you can find in your Windows start menu, accessories section.

In the next build (1.06), LR will come with its own "Easy Voice Recorder". For now, best to use the program Nikki mentioned to do your conversions.  With EVR, all audio recorded will be saved in mp3 and the size will be quite small.

Hmmm.  I can't find sound recorder in my start menu.  Only media player and real time player are in my accessories, so I just assumed it came from LR!  Anyhooo, I got my file down to 6mb.  I don't know if this is still to large for me to upload, but I will try it.

When will 1.06 be available?  Or will that be the version after beta?

by the way I got my file to upload after I changed my Eli Whitney picture.  I didn't realize the silly thing was 2MB!  Good Greif!
