Brandondrury, thanks for your patience and forgive me for my poor English.
I try my best to make it clear.

Currently, I have a speech recording and playback software developed by Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0. The software is used to train children with speech problem and scores will be calculated and showed at the end of each practice session. The software is able to record and playback real-time.

Children use this software at home and save their practice records in a single floppy disk. Then, children will bring the floppy disk with practice records inside when they return to our centre. There are 20 wave files that must be saved in a single floppy disk. Due to space insifficiency, one floppy disk is 1.44M in capacity.
Total size of 20 wave files = 20*188k = 3,760,000 bytes
Total floppy disk needed = (3,760,000)/1,440,000 = 2.6 floppy disks
But, I must save all the 20 wave files into a single floppy disk

Our problem is we are not able to save all 20 wave files in a single floppy disk. We cant afford a CD-RW for each child and we must use floppy disk. The solution is we have to compress the wave file to save the files in a floppy and decompress the files back to wave file in order to listen to how the children practice at home.

I am totally new to this as the software is written by one of my previous friend who worked together with me in a voluntary speech rehabilitaion centre. We need this software to train children in the centre. I work part time there.

But, my problem is how to call lame_enc.dll (just an example or any other codec dll such as acm, speex and many others that I can search on the web) into my current project platform? Please forgive me if I have asked a very silly question, I am sorry.

Hope you can give me some guidances on how to do it or you please link me to pages that help me to do so.

Please, I really appreciate all your help.
