When you export it to iTunes, it exports as an AIFF. By nature, AIFF's are very large files. Once it is in iTunes, convert it to an MP3. That will make a copy of it and will cut the file size drastically.

I think you can only do that if you're burning to disk though? Downloading Audacity is another option and importing the audio from iTunes. You can then export it as MP3.

Nope, you can do it from within itunes too, no need to burn the disk first.
