Shakespeare’s Question

Question: Shakespeare’s complete works have approximately 3.5 million characters. Which is bigger in file size: Shakespeare’s complete works stored in plain ASCII text or a 4 minute song on mp3? How much bigger?

Answer: Depends on the mp3 quality and high quality is like 256Kbps 4 minute mp3 will have about 7.68 MB, the other 3.5 MB for Shakespeare's text. At music quality 128Kbps, the mp3 is only slightly larger than Shakespeare, at 3.84 MB.

I did my research.
