    I would do that differently. I would convert the .wav file to .mp3 (only 10% size) with Format Factory. Then I would put a .wav header on the .mp3 file - that makes it appear like a .wav and can be used e.g. in PowerPoint picture shows. Here is how to finagle the header: PowerPoint Embed mp3 files Cannot beat the 10% size with compression.
    That sounds interesting. You still need the mp3 codec to play it, right?

    Jonathan, it essentially remains an .mp3 with a .wav header. However, the filetype then is .wav. And to tell you the truth, i am not sure whether it plays a .wav or .mp3. My guess would be as .wav.

    I really don’t know how it is done, but Faasoft WAV Compressor has that feature, and I didn’t have any problem using that function.
