Hi,
Actually, a stereo file is the same size as a mono file at the same bit
rate. Think aobut it. A bit rate says how much data is being sent per
second. If it's 128kbps, that's how much data is being streamed or read per
second.
what happens is, if you create a stereo file at 128, it has to squash the
data into the same size, this basicly halves the quality.
If you really want to hear this in a big way, take a file, save it at a low
bit rate in stereo, and then save it in mono.
I think with wave yes, the file will be twice the size, but not with mp3,
ogg, etc.

If a file is mono, it has 1 channel only. Sure, you could convert it to a
stereo audio file, but it would sound the same and you'd simply be
inflating the file size.
There are effects which can add a pseudo-stereo field to mono audio, but
in the end you'll still have one channel stretched across the stereo
spectrum, rather than true 2-channel sound.
