[thelist] audio files (.wav)

[Bob Meetin]

I had some very old 60 minute family cassette tapes converted to audio 
files.  They were returned in .wav format and they are huge, 300+ MB.  I 
had planned on placing them on a family website but the size is close to 
a deal killer.  Are there better options than .wav that are a little 
more conservative if I were to convert them.  I've downloaded audacity 
on my Linux box as one possible tool, and of course, anything that is 
command-line doable works for me.
