How many songs are in 2 gigabytes?

Answer 1

The problem with that question is how long is each song, and at what bitrate are the songs encoded at. The higher bitrate a song is encoder in, the higher quality it will sound, but the fewer of them you will be able to fit in that limited space. Let's assume you encode the audio at 128 kbps, and that there are no additional file system overhead (there most certainly will be, but just for example...). 128 kbps = ( 128,000 bits / sec ) * ( 1 byte / 8 bits ) = ( 16,000 bits / sec ) * ( 1 kbytes / 1024 bytes ) = ( 15.625 kbytes / sec ) ( 1 GB ) * ( 1024 MB / GB ) * ( 1024 KB / MB ) = ( 1,048,576 kbytes ) ( 1,048,576 kbytes ) / ( 15.625 kbytes / sec ) ~ 67,000 seconds of audio Let's assume each song is 3.5 minutes long (210 seconds) that's about 320 songs. You won't likely see that many because of file system overhead, and most songs are not exactly 3.5 minutes long....

Answer 2

It depends on the format you choose.

The format you probably use the most is mp3, which comes mostly in three different kbps variations. The higher the kbps the better the quality, and the more space it occupies.

For 2gb I advice mp3 at 320kbps, with more storage .wav would be a way better option.

Answer 3

== == so does that mean 4GB is 2000??? yay!! i can do basic math!!!

Answer 4

Roughly 570,000 at your average VBR/V0 MP3 size of 3.5mb.

Answer 5

This depends on the quality or "bit rate" of your digital music. You can fit at least 3 songs on 2gb of free hard drive space.

Answer 6

about 500 or so
