I would love to be able to record class on my Braille note mpower. I was recording class the other day just to see how long I could before time ran out and I got a good chunk of class though. But I had to put those files on my flashdrive cause my bn was running out of memory. Everyone is say ing how wav files can be converted into mp3s but I don't know how to do that. I only use a laptop and now my bn so I don't know what program I would need to convert. It would be nice if I already had a program but not sure.
