Carol - borrow a good mic from someone, and get a convertor to convert between the patch cord and the line-in to your soundcard. (Check the soundcard's got a line-in first.) Then go to www.goldwave.com, set it up, and play away.

Then convert to mp3 at 128-320 kbps VBR with any one of several programs, and upload.

Fun and easy. Well... mostly fun and sort-of easy. ;)
