How many songs can 1 gb hold?

Answer 1

For a 128kbps bit rate song, it is approximately 1 MB per minute. For a 256kbps bit rate song its approximately 2MB per minute. Leave a little overhead for things like album artwork, ID3 tags, and some things to do with how drives store data (block size for one), that is about 100 minutes or 500 minutes per gigabyte. iTunes DRM protected songs are encoded at 128kbps bit rate. iTunes Plus songs are encoded at 256kbps bit rate. Most songs are about 4 minutes on average. If we use that as an average we are looking at about 125-250 songs per gigabyte.

Answer 2

1 gigibyte holds 200-250 songs if the songs are about 4 minutes long

Answer 3

1 GB is an equivalent of 1024 MB. Assuming each audio song is 6 MB, 1 GB can hold up to 170 songs.

Answer 4

It will also hold over 17 hours of compressed audio at 128 kbit/s

Answer 5

Just about 1500.
