Two things:

1. Speech is *REALLY* simple to encode. If your mp3 files are larger
than, say, 256KB per *minute*, you need to turn your mp3 encoding *way*
down. 24KHz, mono, 64Kbps should be *more* than sufficient. Heck,
32Kbps is probably plenty. Voice is *really* cheap to encode.

2. Where is your recording?
