"sound recording" software (on Windows Mobile 2003SE; iPAQ..

Wolfgang,

Before trotting off on software searches, have you changed the recording
format on your hx4705 to the smallest format? Most P/PCs can go down to
8,000Hz, 8-Bit Mono recording which is about 8KB/s.

If you haven't done this or don't know how to change it, go to
Start>Settings>Input>Options and use the pull down menu to change the
quality of the recording - thus the size - there.

Regards,

Thanks for the info about turning that bit rate down.

However, thinking more about this, WAV format just doesn't cut it
anymore. With MP3 I expect to get an average compression of at least a
factor 10 for similar sound quality. (And MP3 players to put the
pocket are ubiquitous and inexpensive.)
