Many thanks for making this conference audio available! It is much appreciated.
A request: it would even more appreciated 🙂 if the format was MP3 rather than Real Player! Would it be possible to post MP3 versions for those unable to do the conversion themselves?
David, I understand your preferences as they are mine as well. I don’t originate these audio files. This website is really an online index of what others have produced so what form everything takes is really beyond my control.
Scan the web and you will find free programs to convert real audio to mp3 files. I found a great one called ‘total video converter’, which I original got to convert video, but found that it also converts audio and does a fine job converting real audio to mp3. I’m sure there are many other free programs around.
