If you use standard compression programs, that is.
I saw a mention about a freely distributable lossless audio compression
program in comp.sys.amiga.multimedia a few weeks ago, but I didn't
save the article :-( The author claimed 50% to 70% compression factors.

Maybe it would be worthwhile to hunt down this piece of software if
we want to make more large sample files available?
