What did I do wrong? Assume it's a WAV file. It's not, or Audacity would be able to play it. You can play it anyway in Audacity 1.3.12 from here... http://audacityteam.org/download/ And get the FFMpeg and lame software packages from the same place and install both.

Pops tend to happen if you're within about 8 inches or so from the mic. So back off. It's an industry...
