Good question flea, particularly since Microsoft Sound Recorder isn't
always as visible as it was in earlier versions of the operating
system.
The easiest way to send a voice attachment to an e-mail is to use
Windows Sound recorder, which creates a *.wav file. There are two
things that you'll need to do:
1. Find Sound Recorder in your operating system; it may be in
Programs/Accessories on the desktop or you may have to hunt for it.
In Windows98, Sound Recorder is NOT on the desktop, but accessible in
this directory:
Windows/Windows/Sndrec32
2. Attach a microphone to your system's MIC port (usually on the back
of the computer). A few computers -- particulary notebook computers
-- have built-in microphones.
After that the Sound Recorder has visual controls just like on a tape
recorder. Be sure to save your file somewhere that it's easy to find
when you attach it to your e-mail!
Just last week I got an attached greeting from a friend that I haven't
seen in more than 15 years and it was a pleasant highlight to the day!

I can make and Embedded a *.WAV file but they are too big. I thought
MIDIs would be good because they are small and ebeddable.

I understand the need for compressed files and as pinkfreud indicated,
MIDI files are for generation of music. Sound Recorder could still be
used to capture the *.wav file -- then use Windows Media Player or
Real Audio to convert it to a compressed file format. Any of these
techniques will count on the receiver of the message being able to get
it (some file types are blocked, especially by corporate firewalls)
and open it.
Let us know if there are any other questions.

This was my first Question:
I am running XP
How many people am I paying to answer it ?
How does one become an answerer ?
Is this all the same question ?
I used Sound Recorder ( could not figure out how in Media Player, do
not have Real Audio) to compress.
Got voice only WAV down to 7kb/sec. Is that as low as I can go ?
What is the "ga" after everyones name ?

Flea --
1. You only pay one person: whoever the answerer was.
2. The GA FAQ tells you how to become a researcher:
https://answers.google.com/answers/faq.html#becomeresearcher
3. Yes. We aim to please.
4. I'm suggesting using Sound Recorder, then CONVERTING the file type
using Windows Media Player or Real Audio -- you should be able to get
down to 1.2-3 kpbs.
5. GA indicates that it's a Google Answers ID. It's kind of like
omnivorous@aol.com but for hip people!
Best regards,

OK !
I am satisfied with your answers.
FYI:
I downloaded shareware called Audio Notes Recorder v3.4 from
XemiComputers Ltd.(19.95)
It may be the answer for me.
