if its in a mp3 format 50mb and 30 min long the file has a decent/good bit rate you can render it again but at a lower quality, have a go at 128kbs. for such a long audio track you wont get the file size under 20 ish mb and have any kind of quality.
An audio file, such as a WAV (Windows Audio Video) format, can store up to 10 MB per minute, and this equates to a sizable digital file. It is not uncommon to give in to the natural tendency to keep right on recording until the bytes run out. Well, you can have your sound-filled byte pie and hear it too. Enjoy the sounds that fill the some of the space of the hard disk by getting rid of the extra audio weight and the guilt that goes with it. Learn how to compress audio files that fatten up the computer and still have room for additional data.
Difficult especially if you have used MP3 format as that is already compressed. If it is not MP3 then it is easy get some free software online to convert it to MP3 and the smaller the bandwidth (64K or 128K or 192K) the smaller the file. Use the best bandwidth for the best sound to keep it around the size you need - in other words too small means poor quality sound.
