...or anyone who needs to upload/send big audio files for whatever reason. 
The software you didn't know you needed - Monkey's Audio.
Lossless file compression, far more effective than Zip and similar.
Been using it for years, with great results.
Used at the highest compression setting a Monkey'd wave file (which of course is called an APE file
) isn't much bigger than a high bitrate mp3, and sounding a whole lot better. 
Best thing is, it's FREE and only a 1MB download.

To illustrate how well it works, I took the files from Prages' Boston tune, unzipped them and then compressed them with Monkey's Audio.
Unzipped these files were at approx. 800 MB - after the Monkey treatment I got them down to a total of 205 MB (which is about half the size of the two original zip files combined).
Only drawbacks are that you'll need the software to decompress the files, and it's Windows only.
But definitely recommended in any event.
It's absolutely a time and frustration saver.
And this concludes today's PSA.
