Instead of storing audio files in the assets, if it's stored in the database, will the space usage reduce?

Question

it's related to android app development

Answer 1

Probably not because you should only be using audio that has already been compressed (like mp3 and not wav). A database might do compression on the data but almost always this will result in a larger overall size since you can't really compress a well compressed object. Further, the database will have to add a bunch of book keeping data and access time will be slow.
