I've started recording the church services with a little Olympus voice recorder, then stripping out just the sermon using mp3splt software to post it on the church website. The problem (I think it's a problem, I don't know for sure) is the files average 29MB and that seems kind of large. Some people still actually use dialup around here. Also the files are too large to email to the church secretary. I assume finding cheap web hosting is the least of the problems (google drive, maybe?)
Should I need to break these up into 10MB or smaller files? Or maybe resample them at a lower bitrate? I think the Olympus records in stereo and there's no need for that here, I wonder if it has a mono setting...
Are there any rules-of-thumb about dealing with large files?
