Re: MP3 Players
Well, if you do some memory musical magical math mayhem:
1 minute of music in .wav form = 10mbs
So if you have a 5 minute song, it is going to be 50mbs before compression.
If you compress the song at 128kbps, you're going to get a file size that is roughly around 5mb - which means you will be averaging a megabyte a minute if you encode at 128kbps, give or take.
So, you're talking roughtly 256 minutes of GOOD quality songs on the MP3 player model you're talking about. That is roughlty 4 and a half hours of music - which easily beats out a CD player.
HOWEVER, how many people have songs only encoded at 128kbps? I have songs at 320kbps, a TON at 192kbps, and a decent amount at 160kbps. Chances are you won't fit 4 hours worth of music on that thing, unless you're the opposite of me, and you encode small.
