Making wavs smaller

ok, i know that this is a dumb question but i have been searching my butt of trying to find out how i can make the file size of my wav smaller. its 18mb right now, which is a bit too big for a website. so yeah, i guess my question is how can i make my wav less kb than it is now?

Different format. AAC or MP3 might be a bit smaller. But your dealing with a HUGE file size no matter what.

You could also cut the length :-/.

Im moving this to Computers and Games too.

mp3 will be at least 8 times smaller (which is not just a bit =) )… flash compresses to mp3 in the library options if you choose to.

You can also move from stereo to mono sound, which supposedly cuts the filesize by two

If you want to keep the losslessness of it, try FLAC: http://flac.sourceforge.net/
