You could also pop the file into iTunes and then convert it to mp3 there with whatever settings you want. Doing the mp3 compression twice seems like it's going to give you either a larger file, lower quality or both.

Hi Jenine,
I just use the native app which comes on the mac to convert it to mp3. It's in 
the file menu, open with, and then there's a bunch of different options to 
choose from.
This does create a rather huge mp3 file which I then compress using mp3 
converter.
I found that if I skip this step and used mp3 converter directly on the .mov 
file, only one side of the conversation got converted. I don't understand why 
this is. I  would rather not have to use two steps, but it works for me and 
until I get some mental space to find another solution it does the job.
I got mp3 converter from the app store, but there are many other apps like it 
out there.

Cheers

Thanks much.

What do you use to convert the file to mp3?

Hi Jenine , , ,
I use it all the time. Once set up, it just records the call with no need to do 
anything i.e. no need to turn it on. It literally just works. It makes a .mov 
file (even if you choose not to record the video), which is quite a large file. 
I convert this to mp3 and then compress it some.
The mov file plays fine in quick look (press space on the file to open).
Definitely money well spent for me. I know people will say they use audio 
highjack pro, but I can't get my head around that programme I'm afraid. This 
literally records  all the voices without you having to turn anything on at the 
start of the call.
I find using headphones ensures my voice is recorded better than if I use the 
speaker on the mac.
Good luck.

Has anyone used Call Recorder for Skype? If so, any thoughts?

I'm wanting to do some interviews for recording and short of buying a phone 
patch or hybrid, which I may eventually do, I'm open for suggestions.
