Also, if you have the mkw .shn converter, you can right-click on your wav file and select 'convert to mp3'.

Funny you brought that up, I did this about an hour ago for some music I recorded for the first time in Audacity. It came out 11mb for only a minute of music. So I converted to mp3 and it's now only 2mb.
