As an experiment, I recorded most of the last budget meeting with an Ipod + microphone. I turned that into a compressed mp3 file and uploaded it to my website. You can listen to it here.
Depending on your browser, there is usually a way to move this mp3 file to your desktop. In Firefox, you wait for the whole file to move to the browser, (a minute or two) then you go - File - Save Page As..... and you can put it anywhere you want. The advantage is that you can then listen with other programs (Real Player, Itunes etc.) which allow you to adjust equalizer settings and they give you a time counter. In the future (if elected) I intend to post these files along with a few notes that refer you to points on the timeline where I will tell you who is speaking, and perhaps comment on what was being said. The sound quality isn't great, but I can actually make out some of the conversation better than I could during the live version (perhaps because my hearing isn't great, and perhaps because I can adjust the sound with the equalizer and volume controls) I would like to offer sound files that are crisp and clear. If anyone has expertise in this and can offer advice, please contact me.
