You can use Audacity (audacity.sf.net) to make the recording and export it as MP3. Once you've done that, set up a playlist in iTunes containing only the recording(s) you want to use to train your bird, put it in loop mode, and hit Play. You'll also have to use the Energy Saver settings in System Preferences to keep the iBook from sleeping. There are probably fancier ways to do this, but this one doesn't cost you anything. ;-) -- Larry Kollar k o l l a r @ a l l t e l . n e t "The hardest part of all this is the part that requires thinking." -- Paul Tyson, on xml-doc
