E-mailing audio files

What's the best way to e-mail an audio file...i'm having to convert from wav to mp3, but there's so many preferences on Vegas. Want best quality, but want my recipient to actually be able to receive and play it as well.

You will have to decide, quality versus file size. A few ways to up quality are Mono v. Stereo, Variable Bit Rate (VBR). v. Constant Bit Rate (CBR)

Most e-mail limits attachment size to 20MB, anything that exceeds that must be delivered by other means such as Yousendit.com or uploaded to your own or another website for retrieval/ download

Depends on how good (or bad) quality the recipient is happy with. the encoding rate (kbps) directly affects quality and filesize. 128kbps is common and mediocre at best. 160 or 256 is better, but bigger and bigger.

There may also be a restriction in your or the recipient's ISP for maximum email (or mailbox) size.

Rather than email, have you thought about using a Virtual Private Network, such as Hamachi?

Its drop-dead simple to use, and would allow you to share a folder on your machine for the other person to just directly download, rather than emailing an attachment.
