------------------
Hello,

As we have a new computer-based language lab in our
school, I have been playing around with my computer
for some time in an attempt to figure out how to
digitize audio files, particularly cassettes.  I now
know how to save material from cassettes and CDs as
Real Media files (.rm), using RealProducer.  My
questions are the following:   

1)  Is .rm the best format in which to save materials?
I just tried recording a song onto my PC, and the file
was quite large (5mb).  I don't know too much about
other formats, so this may be a very "basic" question.
Can someone give me some advice, or give me some
Websites I can look at to better my understanding on
this topic?

2)  I have been recording from a cassette to the
computer by connecting a cord from the headphone jack
on my boom box to one of the jacks on my computer
(probably not the best way, but it works for now).  Is
there any way to reverse the process (record from the
computer back to a tape)?

Thanks for your help!

Denise Hamwey
