I use RealJukebox (available for free download at
www.real.com). You can specify in the options what
quality (i.e. how big a file size you want) you want
to record at and what format (.mp3, .wav, etc.).
Now, if you want to chop the file up (e.g. only send
out a 30 or 60 second clip) it gets a little more
complicated. I did that recently with some sound files
and ended up having to use several programs -
RealJukebox to record to a .wav file; SoundForge demo
to chop it up; then since the SoundForge demo won't
allow you to save I used TotalRecorder to record the
chopped up file (it records directly from the sound
card), then since TotalRecorder only records in .wav
files and they're rather large, I used the freeware
Wav to MP3 Encoder to make them into small .mp3s. A
rather laborious process, but in the end I had some
nice 45 second clips that were small enough to send
out via email.
