I’m planning on recording myself reading at least one and possibly more sequences aloud, to be uploaded to dropbox, and posted on the comments, maybe to be collated in a post elsewhere later.
But I need a braindead simple voice recorder to do it because I’m crap with computers/ easily frustrated. MS audiorecorder does not have an immediately obvious way for me to (a) make the files it record end when I want them to, as opposed to after 60 seconds (b) always save as mp3. Audacity requires me to do magic shit with tarballs and unzipping if I want to export their .aup files as .mp3 as opposed to doing what would seem to me to be the sensible thing and make it work out of the box. I realise it’s made by techies, for techies, but I want to register my frustration that they made something that is Windows compatible and didn’t just package LAME painlessly with it. Beware Trivial Inconveniences and all that. I have VLC as well so if there’s some way of doing it in that that just requires the right button clicks in the menu that’d be good too.

Help would be much appreciated.
