    Default a technical question

    I would like to upload a sound file (WAV file).
    Should I compress it to a ZIP file beforehand?
    Is there any good tool for file compression?
    Thank you in advance.

    you really do not need to download a file on a special version.
    there is a program called ( mp3 to wave) that changes the version of musics.
    try this one.

    To here.
    I've written down a sound file (WAV file) of a TV program,
    but there are some difficult parts in it.
    I'd like native English teachers to correct it.
    However, I'm not sure if I can upload a WAV file to here.
    Should I compress it to a ZIP file?

    WAV files are very large, because they are uncompressed raw audio data. You could compress them to a ZIP file, but then your audience would need the extra step of decompressing them in order to play them. You'd be better off to convert the WAV format to MP3; there are several freeware utilities available to do this. I suggest creating the MP3 with a minimum of 128 kbps sampling. This will allow a high degree of compression while still maintaining the integrity of the recording.
