Peter Schultz asked if there is freeware out there for Windows that can
record, playback a sound and has the ability to compress the file size.  

Here are links to some shareware and freeware programs that will do some of
the things you ask about:

Winamp http://www.winamp.com/ and Music Match Jukebox
http://www.musicmatch.com/ - both allow you to convert/compress files

CD Wave http://www.crosswinds.net/~cdwave/ will allow you to cut up sound
files easily. It was created primarily for converting analog sound to
digital for burning CDs (cassette tape or vinyl to disk), but you can use
those digital sound files in a number of other ways.

Microsoft's On-Demand Producer
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/en/technologies/tools/ondemand
.asp
was created in conjunction with Sonic Foundry - this one allows you to
convert wav files to Windows Media Player streaming files.
