Lower the bit rate. As most audio files are already compressed to start with
you won't gain much by compressing them. The best solution is to lower the
audio sampling rate - 128 is pretty decent for the average set of ears. 96
is not too too bad. You start getting down into 12 or 32 and it's like
listening to it out of a tin can.

Audio files are inevitably large and to reduce the bitrate enough to send
them by e-mail would result in abyssmal sound quality. As someone who spent
much of his working life promoting serious audio, I despair at the growth of
mp3 and similar compressed formats which ruin sound quality and think the
iPod is an abomination that should have been drowed at birth.

If you want to transfer audio files, you need both the sender and recipient
to have broadband internet access - and
then use a file transfer system eg Windows Messenger to transfer them.
