[FONT=Arial][SIZE=2]Hi[/SIZE]

[/FONT] [FONT=Arial][SIZE=2]I'm running XP and have Sound Recorder and iTunes installed. I want to record around 200 separate voice files (averaging 90 seconds per file) and put them on my (old style) iPod Shuffle. (The files relate to case law that I need to revise for exams and I think it'll help to hear as well as read the text.)[/SIZE]

[/FONT] [FONT=Arial][SIZE=2]Up to now, I've used Sound Recorder (with a Andrea Anti-Noise NC91 headset) to create a voice file. However, after only 2 or 3 such files, my memory stick is full due to the size of the files.[/SIZE]

[/FONT] [FONT=Arial][SIZE=2]I think I need to compress the file and then get it onto iTunes from where I can make a playlist to put on my iPod. The trouble is, I don't know where to start. I could probably figure it out by doing lots of research on the internet, but I thought I'd start here with the experts. After all, why reinvent the wheel?[/SIZE]

[/FONT] [FONT=Arial][SIZE=2]Quite happy to take suggestions that don't involve Sound Recorder, iTunes or iPod, but I am limited in time and money. I really do need to get these files recorded and put on to some sort of portable audio system sooner rather than later.[/SIZE]

[/FONT] [FONT=Arial]Any help appreciated.

[/FONT] [FONT=Arial]Many thanks.

Ok, 200 90sec files sounds like a lot... the 1st gen shuffle only holds 512mb.. 200*90=18000sec, thats 300mins plus a bit extra for the sandard formatting Apple put on ther takes up some of the 512mb and also as they are seperate files that'll add a bit on. Basically this would have to be ridiculously compressed to the point where you could'nt understand your(recorded)self. You'll either need a bigger iPod or your phone if it has more space.

Record the voice in mp3 format.

If your software doesn't do it Google 'Jet Audio' that is what I use for various bits and pieces.

Surely all this still wouldn't be under 512MB??

Try downloading a music recording program and do it in their. Depending on the file format and recording quality it will take up more or less format.
