The thing with .ogg and .wav is:

If you have slow comp, it takes more time to decode and play the .ogg than it would take to just load a .wav.
If you have a powerful comp, it takes more time to load a huge .wav, than to decode and play a small .ogg.

No line is drawn between 'slow' and 'fast' comps for this. Try both and see which one feels better.

Ok, I'll try the .ogg files... how do I convert the sounds from .wav to.ogg? I mean, I've already deleted the .ogg files...

The music was on the original CD. It's been removed from the download to save on bandwidth and download time.
