Hours of Audio on a GB of hard drive space.

[dustinj1039]

Does anyone know how many hours of audio can fit on a GB of hard drive space? Either as .wav, or more likely as .mp3. Any help would be very appriciated. Thank you!

Well, a 4-minute song takes up around 45MB as a WAV and about 3.5MB as a good quality MP3 encoded at a rate of at least 192KB/s.

So if you do the math, a GB should hold about 1.5 hours of WAV audio and close to 19.5 hours of MP3's.
