Is there anyway to make Sound Studio save files in MP3 format? If not, is there any easy way to convert the files afterward? Thanks -Colin

Thank you for your suggestion, but that is not what I need to do. I use my laptop in many different locations, so having my ISP send the email is not a practical solution for me. Thank you for your time in trying to help. -Colin
