IIRC, the SE (as most compacts) plays sound at 8 bit, mono, 22 khz. With an uncompressed format, that equals to about 1.3 Mb per minute, or about 4.6 Mb for an average 3' 30" song. Storing audio in SE's drive at a higher quality is a loss of space and processing power (the SE will have to downsample and/or downmix it before playing). I don't know much about Macintosh sound formats, but perhaps there will be a format that allows you to reduce the 1.3 Mb per minute rate by compressing the audio (ADPCM algorythms in the PC world come to mind - they allow you a virtually lossless 1:4 compression rate with a very low CPU ussage on play).
