I seem to have lots of features with i-tunes on my Mac (which i didn't have time 
to experience yet :-) including conversion of MP3, .wav and AIFF).

Look for "poetry sound samples" on my frontpage (http://www.fa-kuan.muc.de) 
or just go for http://www.fa-kuan.muc.de/AUSAMP.RXML where you can 
download "xirli'u selsanga" and lots of other sound files!
I experienced that Realaudio is sufficient for poetry recording (except for real 
subtle linguistic phonological purposes).
