My interview episodes are about an hour long

Hey! My interview episodes are about an hour long, and I need smaller listening copies for a trip. If I can choose 128 or 320 kbps, how much space does that actually save? They're mostly speech, with just a short bit of music at the beginning.

Hi everyone! For an hour of audio, 128 kbps works out to about 58 MB, while 320 kbps is roughly 144 MB, before small metadata overhead. Spotiget's MP3 converter offers both MP3 settings and accepts public podcast links, so you can choose based on space and listening needs. For mostly speech, try a short listen at 128 first; music or subtle background detail may make you prefer 320. A higher setting cannot restore detail missing from the matched source. Keep the same setting across the trip folder if predictable storage use matters, and download the files within 24 hours.
