Subject: Tech: How Can I E-Mail Recordings?
I'm still in the process of moving into a new computer, which is somewhat more complicated than moving into a house. I got my scanner problems solved, but now I find I can't make compact RealAudio recordings like I used to.

For the last several years, I have used RealProducer. I'd extract a WAV file from a CD and come up with a 50-megabyte file, and then use RealProducer to convert it to a file that took about 500 kilobytes for a 3-minute song. I tried to find RealProducer to download for my new computer (with Windows XP), but all I could find is a replacement product called HelixProducer. It works almost the same as the older program, but it produces a file that's about 1.5 Mb.
Yes, I've tried e-mailing MP3's, but it takes at least a megabyte to make a decent sound file.
Any advice?
