Math is going to be our best friend in working out the storage capacity of this size. It is pretty simple, nothing requiring advance calculus or anything like that J. Below is a little chart showing you how much songs the storage space should hold, dependent on the MP3 average file size. The good thing is that this really gives you a ballpark figure to work with. Conversely, a podcast pushing out monaural sound at 64 Kbps and running for 45 minutes per episode gives you hours of talking over shows.
It's less common to download audio files to portable devices, as it was when devices like the iPod or the Zune led the market, as streaming services like Spotify and Pandora become more common on smartphones. If you're running into a space crunch, consider ditching the file library and matching your MP3s with a streaming service.
You'll get the benefit of your music without losing space on your smartphone—plus, you can often download specific playlists to get you through those times when you don't have cell or Wi-Fi signals. The MP3 format supports tags and album art.
Although these assets aren't generally large, they do add a bit of extra padding to individual file sizes. Particularly with podcasts and other spoken-word tracks, a file collapsed from stereo to mono takes up less space, often with little effect on the listening experience. Although it's up to audio producers to select the right audio format and bitrate for their music, if you need to shave off some megabytes off your MP3 collection, take advantage of software that dynamically re-sizes MP3s or other audio files.

You may also assume that each minute of sound stored in MP3 format takes 1MB.
Thanks for the conversion information, Richard. Many, many thanks. So, your tool is really handy, I appreciate the effort you put into this. On another note, why are people asking you how big their library is and how many CDs fit in how much space.
You just gave the equation in a word problem and the variable was given above. Think a little, it will not hurt you. Richard, You are a very patient person, thanks again for your scripting work. Please delete this to avoid a cascade on your blog. Hi Richard Hope to help me about a problem. The capacity of a song in mp3 is 4minutes and 30 seconds. Download spees is 56kpbs.
How much time is needed to download this song and what is the capacity of her. Hi, This all depends on what bit rate the MP3 was recorded at, do you have this information to hand? Could you help me about Computer Networking. I have to do a project on this subject which has to do Developing the chat with multicast, this project should realize the program c.
While my colleagues in other group have to Develop client program that communicate with the server in C. Hi, Unfortunately this one is a little out of my depth; my networking programming experience is quite limited. Time to try Google search perhaps? Good luck with your project. Since everyone is so happy with this calculator, I must be missing something.
It is always 2. What have I missed? But no change????? Unfortunately a WordPress update seemed to have knocked out the Javascript. Thanks for bringing this to my attention.
I was considering buying a sony voice recorder to record a three day convention. It is set to record at kbps so using your calculator I see it will definitely cover 24 hours at that rate. Thank You Richard! I added entries for MB and MB to show how many minutes would fit on a cd and 4. I just inserted: MB MB 4. I might update my code to add these common sizes too!
Nice site — thanks for doing this. Thanks Gary. For a device with 8GB my advice would be to go for the kbps if you can afford the additional space it takes up.
