A 4 minute song on mp3

Explanation:

The complete work of William Shakespeare stored in ASCII text would be about 3.5 million bytes large. However, a four-minute song on mp3 is about 8.5 MB, which can be converted to around 8,912,896 bytes. As a result, a four-minute song is nearly 2.5 times bigger than Shakespeare's complete works.
