Kevin -whilst I agree and confirm that Sound Studio is a good 
solution (I have used this several times, and done the AIFF to MP3 
conversion using iTunes, and it is simple), I thought that the 
original request for something that was free, in the OS.  Sound 
Studio is by no means free, although it does have 14 actual trial 
days.
That is why the iMovie proposal sounded appropriate.  However, making 
just an audio recording using iMovie was not evident to me.... 
Perhaps I just need to experiment more.
