Try using shockwave audio, mp3 or realaudio if you have director 8.5.
Filesizes can be grealy reduced without significant quality loss. Also, you
can link your files instead of standard import if memory matters a lot.
beware that loading and unloading huge audiofiles can decrease performance
and cause 'glitches' in animations.
