Yep, and at that sampling frequency and with a 16 bit sample size, you
need the approximately 10 megabytes per minute for stereo sound that are
actually recorded on audio CDs. If any kind of compression was used --
even lossless compression, for that matter --, you could fit much more
music on a CD.
