Hey pal, you're mixing up stuff here...
You're talking about three formats:
1. WAV - a lossless audio format.
2. RM - Real Media with compression
3. MP3 - Also with compression.
Quite often, RM will use a form of compression similar to MP3. They're both "lossy". This means: the higher the compression... (1) the smaller the file... (2) more audible quality loss.
Sites like geocity won't like you uploading big music files because of copyright issues (lots of music is protected, possibly yours isn't, but that's rather the exception).
So if you want to upload it, they'll push you into a low bitrate... or make sure you don't upload to big of files...

Convert it to mp3. WAV files are CD quality, and a 3 minute song is around 35MB. The mp3 equivalent would be around 3MB.

Here's a free program to convert it to MP3 format :

Reduce the sample rate of your .wav files.
If it's copyrighted music you're uploading, you would be in trouble.
