Voice is *really* cheap to encode. 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). > 2. Where is your recording? 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). .aulun.
