no. You could compress it (try!) but the resulting file would be about the same size. The reason for this, is that compressing works if there is a lot of repeated data in your file. This is not the case in a normal wav file (you could see it as a big collection of numbers that are not so well related). MP3 compression is much more clever (so much so that I have no clue how it works ) but changes the audio.
