Unchuffed, or how to double an mp3 file size without trying

I tried posting a rather long (2 hours) mp3 file, but WordPress told me the maximum size was 24 mb (the file size was 32 mb). So I downloaded Audacity and cut the file in half and saved the 2 chunks, then tried uploading them. Would you believe it? Again, WordPress, unimpressed, tells me the maximum file size is 25 mb and my file is too big to upload and that’s the second time I’ve told you!

Impossible! I checked the size of the 2 files and each one is, wait for it, 54 mb! I just doubled the size of my mp3 file by cutting in half. What the hell?

Back to the drawing board…
