Hi Sir Troth, Well, I fixed my sound files. I just recorded them all over though, was the only way I could fix them that I could tell. But this time when recording them, instead of having the duration set at 10 minutes, I set each at 2 minutes. I then trimmed the silence from each making them even smaller files. I think I thought the "10" was "1" minute originally. It is weird cause when I try to set it for a minute, it only goes for one second. I dont know. Anyhow, I know have much smaller size files. I was using Goldwave program, free shareware trial. I may end up buying the program later though. christy cia, cristy ----- Original Message ----- From: "~OoO~" <sirtroth@xxxxxxxxx> To: <pctechtalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, December 09, 2005 1:28 AM Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Re: sound files/conversion > Well... 128 seems right.
