what is it, a wav file!? you need to convert to mp3. 160kbps mp3 is a good compromise between file size and sound quality, though 192kbps is better. 128kbps is probably the usual though. you shouldn't have to encode any lower than 128, as that will reduce your filesize by nearly 90%.

i'm sure Sound Forge has adequate mp3 encoding function

Hey, jues, that thing looks awesome, how about you add that to our links directory? Unless it's already in there, I dunno as Noize2u manages the links thing now...
