Lets say I have WMA file that is monoaural and 44.1 khz and contains a

This isn't really a question about bit-rate. It's about the minimum

Interesting site. Did you know that you can tap in a song yourself and
add it to their database? Cool, huh? Sort of like Wikipedia, only for
sound.
Anyway, I tried tapping in "Happy Birthday" to see if it recognized it,
and got these results:
I Am A Transexual
Rod Conners
Happy Birthday
Unknown
I Wanna **** Aaron Carter
Lexi Henning
Aaron Slaney Is Homosexual
Chas N' Dave
Cool, huh?
