This depends on a number of criteria, namely the following: - Length of the song - if it's longer, then the more space it will take up - File type - some types of file will take up more space than others, due to the way they are encoded. - Quality - if it's a higher quality (or Bitrate) then the more space it will take up. Things like speeches and monologues tend to take less space, because they are often recorded at a lower quality, as the human voice isn't as 'rich' as a full band.

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.

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 can the file size of an audio clip be calculated?

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
