This is Joseph. There is a program out there called CDEx. It can convert between mp3 and .wav files. So, for example, if you wisi to convert a note that has been recorded on the BN to an mp3 file, you can simply transfer the file to a computer and convert it that way. Recording software that runs on the computer these days allows you to convert between multiple file formats.

Since the BN is a commercial product, they'd have to license rights to use the encoder. Why do that, when you can record in WAV and compress it to MP3 on a computer for free? The BN is a notetaker, not a recording studio. The recording feature is meant for taking notes. I wish people would keep things in scope. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rusty Perez" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'Braillenote List'" <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, February 19, 2006 12:28 AM Subject: Mp3 recording on the BN --was Re: [Braillenote] vote now > Hi folks, > It has been suggested that recording to mp3 or encoding on the fly is > not possible, or that conversion from .wav to .mp3 would be better. > > Assuming that you accept the limitations that come with mp3 encoding, > encoding on the fly isn't a problem at all.
