Errmm - the higher the quality (192-256k) the lower the compression rate. VBR would be the best relation between compression rate and quality.

maybe the empeg guys would add support in 1.1 for gziped wav files
You would have to leave enough free space on the disk to unzip the files and in my opinion this would be a waste. But that would be a thing everybody could decide for him/herself
