If you know the bits per second of the audio clip, then simply multiply that by the length of the audio clip.

If you do not know the bits per second, and the file is uncompressed, then you will have to take the sampling frequency (generally 44.1KHz), multiply it by the size of each sample, multiply by the number of channels and then finally multiply by the length of the audio clip.

For example, a 1 second wav file with the default attributes of a 44.1KHz sampling frequency, 16 bit samples and 2 audio channels (stereo) will be 44100 * 16 * 2 * 1 = ~1.4 megabits = ~176 KB = ~172 KiB

What is the average size of a .wma song file?

Hi, Bit rate is what determines the file size of any audio files(uncompressed or compressed).wma is a compressed audio format (lossy compression) so if you go for a 128kbps file of 5min the file size will be around 4.62MB Rgds, Brijith


How many minutes of edited video and audio is in 1000 MB?

The amount of minutes in a video file cannot be determined by it's file size. The file size of the video is determined not only by it's length, but also by the size of its resolution, the audio bitrate, the type and amount of compression amount used for audio and video, the type of format it's rendered as, and possibly other factors.


A Is a clip of audio or video content that is broadcast over the internet using compressed files?

The clip is most certainly using compression of some sort, unless it is very short. Even modest compression can reduce the file size by 70%, so most every thing is compressed.


How do you calculate the amount of data per second in an audio file?

If you mean like "bytes per second", just divide the file size by the number of seconds. The number of seconds will be shown in any audio player, such as Winamp.


How do you put a video clip onto PowerPoint?

Use the Insert > Movies and Sounds function from the pull-down menu. Find your video clip from your hard drive, then size and place it on your slide. Depending on your version, the program may also ask if you want the clip to play automatically, or on a mouse click. One thing to always remember with video clips is that Powerpoint DOES NOT EMBED the video clip to your .ppt file. It only LINKS the clip. Therefore, if you ever show the Powerpoint presentation from another computer, the video clip MUST be in the SAME folder as the .ppt file or the link will be broken. This is a very common mistake for Powerpoint users. That same rule applies for audio files over 100kb.

Is there such thing as a mp4 player?

Most modern audio players, such as the iPod, will play MP4 files. The audio part of an MP4 uses the Advanced Audio Coding known as AAC which is the format used for audio files purchased from the iTunes store. The AAC/MP4 files give a better sound quality in a smaller file size than the equivalent MP3 file.

What is the average size of a WAV song file?

Answer: The WAV audio file format is limited to files that do not exceed 4 GB in size. This is due of its use of a 32-bit unsigned integer to record the file size header. This is still equivalent to about 6 hours of CD-quality stereo audio.

What audio file format does NOT use compression to reduce file size?

Wave, AIFF SND and many other formats are not compressed. Most of these are variations of a PCM (pulse code modulation) format.
