I have created casts for over 3 years but always used automatic (software initiated) creation of mp3 files and RSS files which automatically upload to LibSyn when I use the Libsyn interface by "browse" for my mp3 file.

I want to switch to more sophisticated equipment now. If I knew previously I have forgotten.

After making an audio recording, HOW do I convert it to an mp3 file and, also, HOW do I obtain the RSS file for upload to LibSyn?

Thanks for your help!

Hello,

Depending on the audio software you are using to record your podcast files, you can either choose to save your files in the .mp3 format, or use additional software to convert the completed audio files from their original format into the .mp3 format.

You can use your favorite search engine to search for more information by entering 'convert audio to .mp3 format.'

We recommend the 'Audacity' software -- it's free to download and use, and allows the conversion of most audio file types into the .mp3 format. Here's a link for more information:

If you have any other questions, please email us directly at support@libsyn.com.

Thank you,

Mike
