Size of audio files

[Keith Wolfe x4476]

I'm interested in digitized music.  One thing that I was wondering, is
what is the average size of a file that contained an entire song, or
album.  Are there any compression utilities that can reduce the amount of
space required to store a song, album, etc.

If there is enough interest, I'll post a summary of the responses.
