Who is ever gong to listen to 24 hours of recorded contest again anyway. I
sure don't see any reason to record a contest. You will never find what you
are looking for anyhow as there is no such thing as audio search.
I guess I just don't get it?

<dd>Hi Tom:<br><br>
<dd>You may have to install Windows Media Player 7.1 to get the MPEG 3
Compression format available to choose from Writelog.
<dd>Here, I am using 32 kBit/s 11,025 3 Kb/s MPEG-3 format
option. File for one hour of recorded audio is 14 Mb in
size. For the entire contest it comes up to 672
Mb. It should fit on 80 minute CD. <br><br>
<dd>73 and gl in test<br><br>
