Music For Web, Compression Options

[add9]

Hi
I like this forum. So many interesting questions and answers.
I haven't read every post so I am not sure if this has been up before, but......

I have been asked to make the music for a new online-adventure-game.
No problem, love to do it, but HOW???

When I bounce down my arrangement it is usually 60-70 MB in waw-format. Way to big for the web.
Mp3's can be used in a few places, but is also too big.

Is there anyone who have experiences in compressing large stereo files down to "nothing" without loosing too much quality?

I have just started to experimenting with Flash.
Is there a better program?
Do you have any good tips for me, please...?

thanks Rebecca on the site compliments... unfortunately, my graphic design skills surpasse my musical abilities... must be because I work 8 hours a day in advertising field doing graphics and only get a few hours here and there to do the music role...I am trying to change that though

oh... and experimenting, even though time consuming, is sometimes the only way to figure out what works best for your situation. Good luck with your soundtrack
