Default converting WAV file to MP3

Yes but the file itself seems to have no purpose at all.
I know that you can make a wav file into an html email using mime as I used
to do this very thing to annoy people.

I've just looked at the file. Its very short and sounds like somebody

short already and unless its some alien communication it seems a trifle
useless.

Can you embed a WAV file in an HTML web page? Obviously you can embed
an MP3 file in a web page, but I think you can't with a WAV.

According to;

https://www.w3schools.com/html/html5_audio.asp

you cannot use an AUDIO element for a WAV for IE/Edge.

This is adquate reason for converting to MP3.
