Making an MP3 with a PC


We look at just one of the many ways to create an MP3 file on a MS-Windows system.
One of the most popular pieces of software is Audacity, which you can download for free from here.
You'll also want to download the LAME.DLL

Another free piece of software mentioned is TagScanner to help with ID3 tags.
Next time we'll talk about the next step, using Libsyn.com

Bonus Feed - The DwM Roundtable

This is what you might call the pilot for a whole new show. Greg and Jennifer Willits of the Rosary Army , Michael Kreidler of the BreadCast and me, George Leite of Going Fourth and Catholic Rockers got together to discuss Catholic podcasting. Well at least we talked about it part of the time, between the laughs and bad movie quotes.
We talk a little tech, a little hope, and a whole lot of fun. This is the first in what we hope will be many more DwM Roundtables to discuss Catholic podcasting, so of the hows, and some of the whys. We started with 3 connections to test things out, and will add more participants, keep juggling the line-up around, but will always include some fun.
