Can music be saved on a floppy disk?
Yes. But keep in mind that the capacity of a floppy disk is very small. It would be difficult to fit a full-length song at a decent quality on a floppy disk.
How many 775 KB files will fit on a floppy disk?
A floppy disk is about 5 MB big, so 5120 KB will fit on a floppy disk.
Why the floppy disks have the same shape but not the same memory?
To fit into the floppy disk drive.
How many 8.5 x 11 pages typed would fit on floppy disk?
Few
Can a file that is 1600 KB fit on a traditional floppy disk?
Yes, but only if the disk is formatted with a smaller number of bytes per sector.
How can you make Santa Christmas Nightmare fit on a floppy?
At 2.3 MB, there is simply no way to make the Santa Xmas Nightmare game fit onto a 1.44 MB floppy disk as a single file. Using some archiving software, you may be able to split the file into two parts, put each part onto a floppy disk, transfer it to another computer, and reassemble it.
How many type written pages 8.5 by 11 can fit in a floppy disk?
Considering you have filled the page with 44,100 characters, that would make the file approx. 24kb. You then can attach 61 pages to the floppy.
How many bytes of data can be stored in 1.44 MB floppy?
If kB = 1000 bytes, and a "1.44 MB" disk actually holds 1.44 × 1024 × 1000 = 1,474,560 bytes, then 983 files can fit.
Which has the least amount of storage space a floppy disk or zip disk?
Floppy disks have only 1.44 MB of storage space. ZIP disks have upwards of 100MB of storage space and are much more resistant to magnetic damage at the same time. However, due to cost-effectiveness, neither are especially well-regarded for consumer use anymore. CDs and DVDs are inexpensive and for the same price will hold on average an order of magnitude more data. The only advantage of a floppy disk, is its ability to boot. As far as storage, floppy disks are obsolete. Not even a Word document with enough attachments can fit on one. Most computers can boot directly off the CD ROM. Newer PC's can boot off a USB Key. But when all else fails, the floppy is always there to save the day when you've crashed your system, and need to boot to reformat/reinstall windows.
Why floppy disk are not a part of a computer system nowadays?
Because floppy disks could only hold tiny amounts of data, only above 1Mb, where as now days memory sticks can hold over 16Gb, over 16,000 times more data. They are also bigger in size too. Most documents and files wouldn't even fit on a floppy, such as MP3 files (songs) which are about 4Mb.
What is the difference between USB and a floppy disk drive?
USB is a standardized bus for connecting exernal peripherals (printers, scanners, keyboards, mice, flash drives, hard drives, etc...) to a computer. A floppy disk drive is an outdated method of storing data. It uses a thin sheet of coated plastic, usually inside a firmer plastic shell, to store data.
How many MB is an MP3 song and how many will fit on a floppy disk?
This depends on how the mp3 was encoded and how long the mp3 is. Higher bitrates give you better sound quality but makes for larger files. Lower bitrates will give you smaller files, but sound quality suffers. The standard bitrate seems to be 128 kb/s. Which, in stereo, results in about 1 minute per megabyte. 3.5" floppy disks hold 1.3 megabytes. So if your song is less than 1.3 minutes long, you might be able to get it to fit on a floppy. If you are willing to give up some sound quality and encode to mono you will be able to fit more on there.
