I used the trial version from http://www.ecamm.com/mac/callrecorder/ that will allow you to record video also if the other person has a web camera. I made the report into two video. Please listen to the quality. This is a skype to phone interview. Please share your thoughts. How are others doing recordings? It is much better to do interview in person, but this allows audio recording from distance. Maybe this will be helpful to others.

As for the MP3 conversion, I've been having trouble linking Audacity to the Lame Lib on the school's computers. As a work-around, I have students saving as WAV files, dropping them into iTunes and doing the conversion to MP3 there. Kludgy, but it works until I can figure out the LAME problem.

The parts about the IT person forgetting LAME. Your "give them cookies" if they produce and ignore them if they don't do anything is the ONLY way to move ahead with a group and teaching Audio. It is so like a bike. Until you ride the dang thing, you are just talking. Mindy,
