Adding audio

I had already been able to record a message at odeo but this time I tried something different. I recorded a file about my eating habits into my MP3 player which has a WAV extension, then I used zamzar.com to convert the file into mp3 extension. Later I uploaded the mp3 file to odeo, got a code for the player and here it is. Now I know I can use this when recording my students in class. FINALLY!


powered by ODEO

This time I´ll try to insert a mini-console suggested by Dennis Oliver. Hope it works:
