mykidsdad , you can set the audio bitrate to any that you prefer. Since it is speech only audio, i'll recommend anywhere between 48kbps to 64kbps. However, you can go lower, like 32kbps. But as you've said, it is a trade-off between quality and filesize. You can always encode at 32kbps and test on how it sounds on your computer.

So a typical 48kbps recording, for 10mins would result in a filesize of approx about 3.8MB.

While for music, generally you'll want to encode at least 128kbps or 192kbps.
