[Eugene Ramulu <EugeneR@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Usually MP3 format is as small as audio can go before the quality of the so=
und becomes so poor that it's not worth listening to.
However the vocal range of the human voice (as in audio books) is not as la=
rge as in normal music mp3 files.

So to help you, you can search on Google for some software that will re-rec=
ord your mp3 files at a lower bitrate ...

My guess is that your existing mp3 files are at 256 and above...
From=20experience, a bitrate of 128k is reasonable quality.

Peace
