Not the easiest to do. You can try use programmes such as Stacher but please remember that there are copyright restrictions on the use of such programmes. You should also ensure that any site you do use is trustworthy.
If your software does not offer MP3 export, you can use a trusted audio converter to convert your recording into MP3 format. If you're really stuck email us gleechallenge@frissonfoundation.org.uk
