You can send large files through gmail with it's Gdrive feature so if any of them has a gmail account they could just download the waves and do with them what they will. That of course would mean moderate computer shenanigans though and I know some musicians (especially some of my old rocker friends) might not know how to deal with that.
I find just posting streams on soundcloud does something to the sound (I know there is some data compression so if I'm not imagining it that's probably what's up). There is also dropbox but that's more confusing than gdrive.
I have not however used gdrive yet (because I have a dropbox account and haven't really switched yet). I'm not sure what the file size limit is but you could do it in chunks of a few songs at a time.
Then in the meantime you could hand them a "greatest hits" cd for immediate consumption/posterity.
