"Shrinking" file size

hi Adam,

if you have no luck, let me know which sermons, and the range of file size that you are looking for and i will shrink it and upload it somewhere on the web so you can download it. what you are looking for essentially is something that reduces what's called the sampling rate(bit rate) of the audio. there's a tool called audacity, free tool to do that, but might be a little bit complicated in doing it if you have never done it in other programs. all you have to do is open the file in audacity, then save project, then "export" menu under File, then choose MP3 type, go to option, and choose a smaller bit rate- the smaller the bit rate, the smaller the file size is going to be. hope it helps. the website for the free program audacity is here: [url=http://sourceforge.net/projects/audacity/]audacity[/url]
by the way, you can also use the tool to do bunch of other things such as mix tracks, clean noise out, cut it into diffrent segments etc.

hi Adam, would this help? i did some pictures of step by steps in audacity and uploaded it to my yahoo account.[url=http://briefcase.yahoo.com/meharene@verizon.net]LINKY[/url]. you would need to click on Sermonindex folder, and the file is called "final". See if that helps and let me know.
