That is exactly the problem with mp3. I believe OGG may be a better choice because of patent issues and but I am but I am not certain if both browsers support it. As for zipping, it would only be done for archiving and the admin can decide the archiving policy. Yes it would be cumbersome. It would involve the additional step of unzipping (either at the server or the client) before listening to audio but it would only apply for archived files.
