A Wave file has a suffix of .wav. It is an uncompressed audio file
which can be music or just a sound. MPEG Layer 3 is indeed mp3, which
is a compressed audio file. Depending on settings, ancobnverting a wave
file into an mp3 can reduce filesize by significant amounts. Too much
compression can impair fidelity however.

I always record in mp3, and have used that for numerous email reports
without incident -- all on DX Tests. Almost any computer is capable of
handling either.

As to the question of how big a file to send, that is limited by  the
email client you're using or the one the recipient is using.
The moist frequent limit I've run into is 2 meg, but I try to keep my
files down to a max of about 1.6 because when the file is imbedded in
the email it uses more space.
