That doesn't sound right at all. Typical MP3 recordings at around
128Kbps end up at around 1MB per minute.
Which is why people use MP3s, which are compressed, instead of of
uncompressed WAV (which is almost exactly the same as AIFF) :-)
If you make an ordinary audio CD (ie to use in a CD player not an MP3
payer) you end up with roughly 10MB/min, or a little over 600MB/hour.
