Only potential problem with this is that those MP3 files can get awfully
big - particularly if you're trying to capture a 30-60 minute voice
lesson. Not only will the hard disk space taken up be potentially
significant, but the files - even further compressed with Zip or something
similar - will be way too large to send via email; particularly given that
many ISPs limit the size of email attachments that they allow to be passed
through their mail system (because they don't want those huge files
hogging up disk space on their mail servers, either).
