want to 'shrink' sound clip

Post by 21Rouge »

I have a short (around 30 seconds) of a sound clip I made with my new canon camera (just sound, no picture). However it is over 8 megs . Even doing a zip leaves it still over 7 meg. Is there an easy way to compress it more to more easily send it as an email attachment?

are you able to save/convert it to a different sound format?

Your camrea software might be able to convert it. If not, I'm guessing it's a .wavYou might find something on download.com or could just use iTunes or another MP3 software to import it and convert it to MP3 or other smaller format.

not postive, but i'm pretty sure windows media player can convert it to mp3 for you....if it's a wav file.
I have signatures turned off so I'm not even sure what mine says in this space!

I am not going to be much help here, since I am using version 9. However, at http://www.microsoft.com/windo...reate it says " MP3 encoding support is included at no cost with Windows Media Player 10." I would look in help under MP3 on how to encode a file to MP3.Maybe you need the "Plus! Audio Converter Update" as explained at http://www.microsoft.com/windows/plus/updates.asp

download a program called "freeRIP". it converts all types of media files to other formats. even rips audio to MP3 in a snap.if you have a file share program, try getting it there.

I found out that my Dell desktop has Muscimatch which does a simple conversion.
