Hi, In my experience, coding of a .wav file to MP3 and subesquent decoding back to .wav results in very little sonic degradation. I have to resort to this method of sending files over the internet from time to time, and while it is not perfect, it is the easiest solution, and offers by far the greatest compression ratio. Zap from Emagic, and Winrar are other alternatives you could try.
