Hey folks, to all who are studying for any exam consider the following
technique . Its a simple way of making your own audio cd, which you can play
in your car while you drive to work or on a trip and so on.

Start the Sound Recorder program found on your windows OS. Then simply read
your Text out of the book you are using to study, into a mike connected to
your sound card. Then save the recording to a folder for burning to a cd
later. You can save several wave files in the folder, which turns out to be
tracks on your cd. But remember to number your saved files as shown below,
so the files will be in order on the cd.
I like to name the folders according to the chapter I read them from. I'm
also considering making questions using the same technique. Works great give
it a try.
To run the Sound Recorder go to start, programs, accessories, entertainment
and click on sound recorder. Just make a shortcut on the desktop for future
use. And you might need a mike

Excellent idea, but completely useless to people like me, that really detest
the sound of their own voice :O)

That's my problem too, g00se.

Great minds think alike, Minie me.
I've been recording my study notes for ages.

But I do it a little differently.
First of all, I record onto a cassette, not a CD.
I just hook up the tape deck from my stereo to the PC.

Then I use a screen reader to read for me.
I read a book & make notes as I go along.

Then the screen reader reads out the notes that I've made, rather than recite the whole chapter.
