What MP3 Player Should I Get?
Posted by Michael Swanberg on December 06, 2006
The first step is to determine size. In order to sound good, MP3s need to be encoded around 128kbps (kilobits per second... 128 is considered "near CD quality"). So, a standard 4 minute song is 240 seconds, which means 128x240=30720kb which is about 3,840KBytes (8 bits in a byte). Now, let's look at the 20GB model MP3 player (you can do the math to see how much the other sizes can hold). 20GB is 20,000,000,000 bytes. So, this means that 5,208 songs will fit on in 20GB. So, where'd they get the 9,900 from?
