want to 'shrink' sound clip

I have a short (around 30 seconds) of a sound clip I made with my new canon camera (just sound, no picture). However it is over 8 megs . Even doing a zip leaves it still over 7 meg. Is there an easy way to compress it more to more easily send it as an email attachment?

are you able to save/convert it to a different sound format?

Your camrea software might be able to convert it. If not, I'm guessing it's a .wavYou might find something on download.com or could just use iTunes or another MP3 software to import it and convert it to MP3 or other smaller format.

I am not going to be much help here, since I am using version 9. However, at
http://www.microsoft.com/windo...reate it says " MP3 encoding support is included at no cost with Windows Media Player 10." I would look in help under MP3 on how to encode a file to MP3.Maybe you need the "Plus! Audio Converter Update" as explained at

download a program called "freeRIP". it converts all types of media files to other formats. even rips audio to MP3 in a snap.if you have a file share program, try getting it there.

I found out that my Dell desktop has Muscimatch which does a simple conversion.
