    Well that is not terribly excessive. ~7.8MB per track on average. Typically for say a 3 or so minute track encoded as MP3 at 192 Mbps, I see around 4-5MB file sizes. So you are probably encoding at a higher bit rate than 192?

    So what are you import setting for encoding? Are you use MP3 or AAC and at which bit rate? This will effect file size.
