    Use iTunes. Or iTunes for Windows.

    Hi Joanna,

    Have you adjusted the settings in iTunes? Under Preferences > Importing

    Then Import Using: WAV Encoder
    Setting: Custom

    Then change the Sampling rate to either 8,11, or 22kHz ( 8 being the lowest/smallest filesize you can get. You'll have to experiment to know which is the ok quality/smallest filesize.)
    Sampling size: 16bit
    Channels: Mono

    Also you can also use Quicktime Pro, and export it with the same settings. Either app will do.
