[CI] recording audio rounds

[tim & pat]

Thanks for the info everyone .


I've used Audacity and I have a Mac so I'm glad that works. I'm pretty
sure some free software exists to convert (if necessary) to MP3s to
accommodate the players. I expected that would be the case.

I'm wondering about sources of music -- some of you used your own
collections  - which limits music rounds to those on the team with a big
collection and none among us has a big enough collection to sustain a
variety of rounds.

Tony gave some tips for apps and sites -- Wiretap, Limewire (a file
sharing app), Vuse, Fussion.

Feel free to comment or add. But thanks for the advice so far --
something to build on.
