It seems like an oversight. .wav files are allowed, but I compressed my attachment to mp3 format as a courtesy (not to waste too much server space). I then had to zip it because I get a message saying that mp3s aren't valid attachments.

I agree, MP3 should be attachable.Grrr | Pieter Lootsma | Hamilton, NZ | grrr@orcon.net.nz

I was wondering why you posted it as a wav.
That would be the reason.

you could always zip it...
Of course, I can't download attachments for some reason, anyways...

The zip file doesn't actually have any worthwhile benefit though, the music is already compressed. The easiest way is to rename it to .wavGrrr | Pieter Lootsma | Hamilton, NZ | grrr@orcon.net.nz

Why are wave files allowed?

Something very odd happened to me this a.m.
1. I was cruising the Civ2 area, just normal thread-lurking.
2. For no apparent reason, a tune starts emanating from my PC speakers! Electronic keyboard, kind of a cheesy upbeat pop carnival national anthem vibe. And I can't turn it off! All I could do was to turn it down with the external volume wheel.
3. Tune plays for about 2 minutes, ends.
4. Roughly 15 minutes later, I've moved on to this forum and see this thread.

I agree with the sentiment.
I too often felt necessary to post bits of sound and since wav files are allowed, why not post MP3s which are smaller?
It's not like we're going to illegaly trade copyrighted material using 500KB files

Yes, there are much better ways to illegally trade copyrighted mp3s

Since this oversight is discovered, I strongly suggest the admins to close the hole by disallowing wave files.
Everybody can handle compressed files, right? Right.
