Thanks for this - A great idea, but expenses being what they are, I am
trying to live with what I have.
I do have a small Olympus vox recorder lying around somewhere - I may
see if I can get it working - but for now, I am using an excellent
quality old-fashioned cassette recorder. *Just last week, I figured
out how to pump the output of this into my PC to make digitized
recordings; just last night, I managed to burn a couple of CDs for
Voice of Russia and Radio Bulgaria (that don't sound half-bad) which I
assume any self-respecting radio station should be able to play back.

- Maybe the same thing? *
- Either way, it burns a decent CD,
- and I have sent them by e-mail before.
What is the most universal Audio Format ".wav"
-or- MP3 ? -or- other ?

This is the $64k question, I guess. Wavefiles are probably the time-
honored standard; MP3 are johnny-come-latelys, although they are by
now a dime-a-dozen. I'll let you know what Russia and Bulgaria send
back :-)
