Is there any way to make .wav files smaller? I have one now that is 38 MB and
is way to big for what I need. I don't care about losing quality, but I don't
want to convert it to an MP3.

Rip it or convert it to 8 bit or so... 12 is still ALMOST tollerable to
listen to. Depending on the file size of the original you can get them
pretty small. jetAudio does a fairly decent job at it.

I highly reccommend not making the file size smaller, because if you do, the
quality will be poor and Home Edition. If you don't care and still want to do
that, I will suggest using a Wave Editing software to convert to change it
from 96, 000 or 44,100 Hz to 32,000 Hz or lower. You can also convert from
PCM to ADPCM or change from 16 bit to 8 bit. I highly recommend you backing
up the original on CD or any other Media Device, before you perform this
procedure.
