Aiff file too big to e-mail?

I've been trying to e-mail an Aiff file but the file seems to be too large (66.9MB)
to send. Is there a way to shrink it? I can send it via mp3 but that's not the format that's needed.

Dual 2.7 G5 Mac OS X (10.4.3) 2.5 Gigs RAM

if its a song being created in logic then bounce it as mp3

but at the heights rate like 320 on mono and stereo

use variable bit rate

and set it to the highest

use best encoding

don't filter freq below 10hz

and use normal for the stereo mode

thats it

then one the person gets it they can convert it back to aiff

if thats a problem

then get Gmail or yousendit account they support up to 100mb per upload

or you can get a .mac account which is even better but abit slower

this was the person can download straight from the don't .mac, edit and save it there again for u to download

best stash

Did you consider instant messaging it to him (Ichat
or AOL IM)? I do that a lot,


Is there a limit to the size of the file with IM?

You could also set this person up as a 'user' then
put your aif file in his folder, and he can log on
to your computer, and download it.. (I haven't tried
that, but I believe you can do it)


I have tried this with a friend across town and it worked
great. You just have to do the setup which is a little
work but no limits to file size. Best of all
it's free with no additional web sites.
