• WAV <.wav>

• MP3 <mpeg_audio3>
• AU <.au>

Most computers have a Sound Recorder, which is usually located in the Accessories section under Entertainment. If your computer has a microphone you can record your own sounds. See practice page.

Many digital video cameras are equipped with cables to connect to your computer and allow you to edit and save as movie files.
