I am certainly not an expert on sound quality. It is very confusing but as I said, I have hundreds of “wav” files under one meg and all my MP3s are triple that.

Therefor in my webhosting site I can have quadruple the number of files. They do seem to sound equally good on the burned CDs.

This is an ‘old Timmy’ site where I get many wav downloads and I have many sites like that that I go to.

If the sound quality is low then the WAV will be small. But if you convert that to a constant bit-rate MP3 it will be larger. For example a WAV at 8,000 Hz 8-bit mono is about 470 KB per minute, but convert that to a constant bit-rate 128 Kb/sec MP3 and you're back up to 937 KB per minute. Basically, you just cut the quality more and wasted a lot of space.
