By the way, what program do you use to convert? It's been some time since I've messed with uploading sermons and my tools are quite old. I'm hoping to find a nice freeware app that does the job nicely. |
Rich,
The 32kbps version is up as well
here. I think it sounds fine, and is only 18.5MB (that is about right for the length of the audio. My personal opinion is that streaming is a waste of time - no one I know sits at their PC to listen unless they have no choice. With podcasts, MP3 players, etc., fast downloads are the way to go.
I use
dBpoweramp. I like it a lot. You can download and install all kinds of codecs, even one to convert from Realaudio. The hardest thing to do (surprise! can you say proprietary?) is to convert anything to/from Apple format (remind me again why Microsoft is big brother and somehow Apple is anti-establishment?). dBpoweramp is fast, flexible and free. It also has some small addons (Power Pack) that you can buy. I've used just about everything for converting, including Adobe Audition, and dbpoweramp has the right combination of ease, price and results.
