Ok. But I don't know how to determine the final sound size for example
ogg-vorbis

Sure. I prefer ogg but I don't know the way.

I've searched but I have not found one for fixed size (1 or 2 CD) that
is :

   - how to  re-encode the sound and  determine the final  size of the
   sound 
   - how   to  to   precisely   determine  the   bitrate  with   sound
   consideration 
   - how to optimise quality

Regards
