In Mac OS 9, you can use the SimpleSound program, which is
supplied as a standard part of the Mac OS. However, this
program cannot save files in the WAV format. After you have
recorded and saved a sound file, use a program such as ArcSoft
VideoImpression to change the format to a WAV file. The
detailed creation instructions are explained in the next topic.
