Voice recordings in MP3 format

There are also other compressed wav formats… I don’t remember their names but they were available in the old Voice Recorder program; they achieve something like 1:5 compression that, combined with mono, 8-bit and 22,050 Kz sampling gives something like 0.5 Mb per minute. A Packard Bell MP3 player that I have uses that format… if you want I can go and check what is the exact name of the format as reported by the explorer.

Would it have to be licensed, too?

Edit: I think it is 11,025 Hz 4-bit ADPCM, giving ~44 kbps. More than enough for voice mono recordings.
