Voice Recording on Nokia

Hi every1. Finally done with first podcasting. The topic i chose was how to do voice recording on a Nokia cellphones that run on Symbian OS. I had first recorded my voice on my Nokia handset and then it was transfered to my mac using bluetooth file transfer. Then on a PC Windows using Sound Recorder (a built in software) recorded the other sound effects as for some reason mac recording wasnt clear enough. Then took it to my mac and imported on Audacity for lil editing and joining two clips together along with other sound recordings like the nokia ring tone. Then it was exported as MP3 and uploaded on ourmedia.org. it was so cool doing something for the first time. kinda liked it. but i wonder how long would podcasting demand last over radio.

I'm with Martha on this. Good choice of recording technology. I like it when class members share tips on how to work new tools..

Just to let everyone know that when you voice record on Nokia or Sony Ericsson or any phone that runs on Symbian OS... your audio file will be recorded in .amr format. What i would suggest do is exactly what i did. Download the freeware - MIKSOFT Mobile AMR converter (MS WindowsXP) to convert your .amr to .wav (mp3 option n/a). Transfer the converted .wav file onto mac and do the editing work (Audacity). Once you have finished, you can export it as mp3 (Audacity).
Sorry guys, could not find a converter freeware for mac. if you do... please post here. sounds a lil extra step but sure theres a back door for all problems.
