File size is duration x bitrate. Bitrate is the number of bits used to represent 1 second
of music. For the same duration, lower bitrate means smaller file size. When dealing
with a lossy format such as WMA or mp3, a lower bitrate also means that more sound
information is lost during the encoding process.
