If your friend's Windows is really old with really limited multimedia,
another option is to use QT (there's others, but for you this is certainly
readily available) to convert to a MIDI file, which gets played on even old
Media Player apps (WIn 3.1, et. al.) and suffers not at all with
compatibility concerns.
As alluded to, the problem with .wav files is not compatibility per se, but
compression, i.e. lack thereof. Both .wav and .aiff's "native" form is to be
uncompressed.
Just another option.
Best regards,
Dana
