Re: How to compress a music wav file

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry




In this case I'd convert it to an mp3 using a sound editing program, then
using the free converter CDEX add a wav header to the mp3 to make it
embeddable. This way you have the compression on an mp3 and the
embeddability (is that a word?)

It's certainly prettier than embeddabiliousness. It has my vote for
wordocitousness.

Thanks for filling in on CDEX too. Much clearer than my babbling.

I have worked on a pp presentation that includes photo pictures from a
community service project which I have included music. I have compressed the
pictures, but the music has made the file 40MB. I recently used PPT
minimizer hoping to reduce the file by 96 percent. It only reduce the file
to a 35.1 MB file. Is there any other way to reduce my file without having
to delete pictures and the wav file. The wav file is 3.20 minutes in length
and a total fo 34 slides.
