You could upload the full wav file to an ftp server and do the exchange that way. Mind you, this will take some time, dependent of course on both of your connections speeds. If either of you are *not* using broadband, forget this idea completely. I recently recorded some vocal tracks for a collaboration with a guitarist located in The Netherlands. 8 WAV files for vocals... for this, I just uploaded the wavs to my host server and gave him the links. Fortunately, I'm allocated a large amount of server space. Keep in mind what your Bandwidth allowances are when doing something like this. You max out, your site is down.

There are some file format exchange servers that are geared for exactly this type of thing. FLAC is one option. FLAC stands for Free Lossless Audio Codec and works in much the same way as ZIP does, only FLAC was designed for audio data specifically.

Do a google search on FLAC and you'll get some great information there.

If you need help with programs, setup, etc., let me know. [Linked Image]

Also, keep in mind that *most* mp3s you hear online are at 128kpbs or even 64kbps (shudder). If you convert your song using the Highest Quality Variable Bitrate option, it's next to impossible to hear the difference between uncompressed and compressed. 192kbps is generally considered to be CD quality as well (I usually go with 320kbps or the variable bitrate option). Many options for you in terms of converting/ripping. Hope this helps!
