Hell, downloading a map with a music file that takes up over 70% of the compressed archive sucks.
You can compress WAV files with the AUDIORECORDER of Windows.
Just open up that thing (Start/Programms/somehwere..) and load the wave file, then convert the wave file to a - not higher than 22khz, it should be MONO only, and it should be saved in Microsoft ADPCM format, since its the smallest and "best" one that works for RF.
Choose 22khz or 11khz for Microsoft ADPCM.
-ADPCM format sometimes sounds very great for such a small filesize.
compared to PCM it is much smaller
-Stereo wave files will double the size and sometimes the stereo effect is totally useless when both channels have the same audiotrack. 
Just take a look at mad_ferrits map All around the world.
It includes a song which plays for 3 minutes and has a size of less than 2MBs. This is one perfect example how a wave file should b. |

Have you tried using this program:
dBpowerAMP Music Converter™
Use a bit rate of 8, it still sounds good at that rate and it keeps the file size small.  |

Their is a long way of conveting, You Burn ur sound file on cd [Recomend one or more songs wen doin this] then go to windows media player, go Tools,Options, Rip music then in the Rip format pick wot u want it 2 convert to. Then just Rip it off the cd, im not shure if it works with Midis as i dnt have any, But it conveted Mp3,Wav & Wma (thoese r the ones i have converted 4rm b4 only) i nva do it that cause it waste of a CD |
