What exactly do you mean by "2x or more"? Why do you emphasize
that the archived files all are MP3s - is this relevant somehow?

For us to get an idea what happens, you might want to provide more details.

E.g.:

$ script typescript
$ file File.cpio
$ cpio -iv < File.cpio
$ exit

then show us the file typescript (of course only, if the file names
are not secret) which will show your input and the computer's output
(see "man script").
