That would be 1.7 MByte of slack space *per each file*. Looks a bit too much 
  to me.

Give a look to the GNU df man page:

"df displays the amount of disk space available on the filesystem containing 
each file name argument."

Your "df /music" counts *all* the space used from the partition mounted on 
/music , not just the cluster space occupied by files in said directory.

Maybe there are other files not ending in ".ogg" on that partition too, or 
else something is wrong.
