it's probably downloading and buffering if you're viewing it from the site.
WAVs are very big .. try to convert it to an MP3 if you can.

I'm not sure how you actually listen to the music or present it for download.

a .wav will only be used if it is a small file size, and you might have
uploaded a big .wav which would account for lag online.

I'd put a simple download link for the file, and make a small button on the
webpage to give a choice.

Listening to the file in Dreamweaver will let you listen to the copy on your
hard drive, not the music file on your web sites server. That's why you can
listen to it with no lag.

Unless people have really fast broadband connections (and most of the world
does not) then the music will likely lag naturally. Allow users to download it
and not streaming it direct should help you out and save the day.

Good luck.
