How do I compress Wav files

[mbell66]

Hi, I have some sound files that I want to be able to email to people, but I can't because the files are too big. Is there a way to compress these files(wav)?

You should rip them in mp3 format, or try converting the wav files to mp3 files via an audio converter.

Also, instead of emailing them the files you could just upload them to a free host and then email them the link to download.

I use WinLame  (free, open source) to compress to MP3.
