File size could be reduced considerably FWIW.  Mavimao's sources are 32-bit two-channel mono.  Reducing that to 16-bit single-channel mono would cut down on the size quite a bit, and I did this with my encodes.  That said, whether to encode mono as one or two channels is open to debate.  Technically speaking, single-channel is better, more space-efficient, comes out of the proper center speaker, etc.  But on the other hand, some receivers don't know how to upmix single-channel mono to surround, and two-channel mono works better for them.  Pick your poison.
