You could re-encode it using a lower bit-rate (such as 32), but there will be
quality loss. Not sure where that is on 2.0, but it should be in Preferences
under something like “MP3 Export Setup” on the File Formats tab (in 126,
which I prefer).
I’d suggest cutting it into a series of files (say 20 minutes each, or logically
cut depending on the content (such as when topics are switched or a
commercial, etc).)
That way, the files a smaller, and if you lose one or one gets corrupted,
you won’t lose as much. Be sure to number them in order of their
sequence in the show, example:
Coast to Coast Show–01–Interview Start (10 Apr 2007).mp3
Coast to Coast Show–02–Caller 01 (10 Apr 2007).mp3
Coast to Coast Show–03–Commercial (10 Apr 2007).mp3
…etc…
Also, LAME isn’t the same as FFMPEG. FFMPEG is basically a HUGE
collection of audio and video codecs. Not sure why the “gurus”
here want you to use it, but at least they aren’t hyping K-Pack,
I guess. Ha ha…
Managed to get the 2 hour audio down to 30 meg, then spent 2 hours trying
to upload it to 4 shared using fire fox
Finally did a bit of sideways thinking and switched to avant browser, the file whizzed up
in about 15 mins
worth a listen if you are interested in space and science
