How low can you go
MP3 is the format every phone, car and app plays. It's lossy: it drops the sounds people hear least to keep files small.
Bitrate is how much data each second of sound uses. Speech is clear at 64 kbps; music needs 96 to 128 kbps before cymbals and high notes get muddy.
A one hour recording at 64 kbps is about 28 MB.
