An uncompressed lossless track from an audio CD is approximately 3 times larger than it's MP3 equivalent encoded at 320 kbps. Typically, the uncompressed track would be around the 30 meg mark for a 5 minute track whereas the MP3 equivalent would be around the 10 meg mark.
If you're ripping in a compressed lossy format like MP3 then you'd probably be better to use variable bitrate rather than constant. Regards.
