• To post student soloists to a web page, use Easy CD-DA Extractor software by Poikosoft Software on the computer to convert the newly burned .CDA audio file a file format usable for web use. Instead of converting this audio file to a rather large .WAV file for web use, it is recommended that you convert it to a compressed MP3 file. The Easy CD-DA Extractor software can convert and compress the .CDA audio file from mono 22 kHz at 8 bits all the way up to stereo 44 kHz at 320 bits. The audio quality will vary significantly as will the size of the MP3 file. Suggest that the recording be about one minute in length for quick audio streaming times for 28.8/56K modem Internet connections. Once the audio tracks are converted to MP3, you are ready to post to the web page. A simple HTML code is needed on your web page, such as "hot" link code with the name of the file ending in .MP3
