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
information required to recognise a song.

You might find one bit sufficient.
I tried tapping in the following:
J. S. Bach, Tocatta and Fugue in d
J. S. Bach, Inventio #8 in F
Francois Couperin le Grande, La Favorite
Jan Pieterszoon Sweelink, Unter de Linden Grunde,
also Meine Junges Lieben hast ein Ende
and it didn't find a single one of them! So it REALLY
sucks! :-) :-) :-)
(but it will reconize them now :-)
And, the question for our radium: if I were to play you a
completely uncompressed rendition of, oh, Unter de
Linden grunde, would you recognize it?
