The following information was taken from another thread and was create by ExoStatic. I just thought I should add it to this sticky thread for ease of use. I am in no way trying to take any credit from ExoStatic, but since I can't really move a single topic. I did it this way. I didn't use the quote system either because it would make the thread a bit thinner and might ruin the way it looked.
It's surprising that nobody has posted this yet.

How to get small .WAV files in Red Faction and have a high quality sound!
Program used : dBpowerAMP Music Converter
Download that program, and set it up. When you have it installed, run it. Duh. 
You should have a box come up telling you to browse for and specify which files you would like to convert which looks like this :
Click on the song(s) you would like to convert, (use CTRL+Left Click to choose multiple files) in my case, I will convert "01 you Held The World In Your Arms Tonight". This is a 192KBit song and comes in at a medium sized 4.62MB.
Click Open.
Next, you should have a screen which looks like this :
 .
If you are not on something like this, with the codec options near the top, then click the drop down box at the top, and select Wave.
As you can see, I have the setting "Compressed" Selected. This is what you want.
The next step is to change the format/codec of the file. To do this, we click "Change Format".
The settings which I find work best are these :
You can edit the settings, but it's ideal you stick to the ones that I chose as these give a pretty nice size. When you are done, click OK.
Next you must choose a folder to save the converted file to... I am going to choose "Same Folder as Original". This means that the .WAV will appear in my "My Music" folder. You can specify your own folder if you like  . When you have done this, ignore the bottom few settings, and click "Convert >>". Watch the progress bar 
Dum de dum...
And the results ARE IN!!
As you can see, the file size is roughly 1/2'ed, and there is only a little quality loss which shouldn't be noticed when you're running around in an RF map getting your Hoser butt fragged off
