The filesize obviously depends on the bitrate used for encoding. At the same
bitrate files will not differ that much in size. But L3 needs a lower
bitrate to achieve the same level of listening quality as L2. So at the same
"listening quality" the filesizes _will_ differ.

Just for the record: Winamp has no problem playing "mp2" (MPEG1 L2) audio.
