    My guess is that it was re-encoded at a much higher bitrate. Have a look at the default settings next time and set the bitrate to not change when you do an edit and save the resulting file.

    thanks you re probably right
    the bit rate was way up ..... 130 plus
    I hammered it down to 16 and ended up
    with a file 5 .7 megs but the audio (speech )
    still seems OK !

    For limited frequency bandwidth material like voice only, the bitrate can be pretty low and still be quite useable.
