MiG- Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 6.96 Gb. Apparently. Edit - i changed my mind.. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metallithrax Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 Approx 87Mb. 17.41824 Gb.Apparently. Bit of a difference there :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SittingBull Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 Isn't it 8.5GB? 16.8*24*60*60 = 1451520 48/8 = 6kb/s 1451520*6= 8709120kb / 1024 = 8505mb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MiG- Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 Bit of a difference there :laugh: changed my mind... :laugh: anyway, the way i would work it out is... 48kbps is roughly 4.8kb/s, well more around 5.2kb/s ish but it depends on the acutal throughput.. so to get the size of 16.8 days its.. ((4.8 x 3600) x 24) x 16.8 if 4.8 is right then that should prove right to give the answer in Kb. EDIT - OK i forgot to divide by 8. *slaps wrist* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicane-UK Veteran Posted December 5, 2006 Veteran Share Posted December 5, 2006 Yeah - 8.5GB sounds approximately right mate :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I8PP Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 I'm getting at least 8.6GB ((48/8 *60*60*24*16) +(48/8 *60*60*22)) / 1024 = 8564 edit: too slow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheppard Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 48kbits into bytes is 6 as its divided by 8, there are 1,451,520 in 16.8 days according to google, times that by 6 to get the amount of kilobytes, times that by 1000 as there are 1000 kilobytes in a megabyte and you get 8709Mb or 8.7Gb.

NienorGT Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 Do you know that a MP3 at 48Kbps is very poor like quality? :blink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricci Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 16.8 day = 403.2h 403.2h = 24192 min = 1451520 seconds 1451520 seconds * 48kbps = 69672960 kbits 69672960 kbits = 69672.96 mbits 69672.96 mbits = 8.505 Gb = 8709.12 Mb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgevella Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 48kbits = 6kilobytes 16.8 days = 1 451 520 seconds ((6*1451520) / 1024) /1024 = 8.3056gigabytes there are 1024kilobytes in 1 megabyte and 1024 megabytes in 1gigabyte Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

georgevella Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 Humm mine is half that but not that many hours. 48kbits is a very low quality, online radios use 92kbits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bangbang023 Veteran Posted December 6, 2006 Veteran Share Posted December 6, 2006 mp3 player hdd space is usually measured using the 1,000mb per GB system. Just so you guys doing the math know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6785077276 Posted December 6, 2006 Author Share Posted December 6, 2006 (edited) 48kbps no matter what encoding is still very poor quality. I weep for your ears. Why not just use updating playlists? Well, I already have an iPod Video 30GB, iPod Photo 40GB and Shure E3C and Etymotic ER6i earphones, so yes, I am fully aware that 48kbps ogg will not sound the best. I've been doing some listening tests and analysing the frequency spectrum graphs in Adobe Audition and 48kbps OGG > 48kbps mp3 :yes: The sound quality is reasonable for the bit rate. I do hear audible artifacts, but they are not irritating. I'm not aiming for the best sound quality in this situation... I might as well just experiment with my spare iPod Mini 6GB and try to fill it up with as much music as I can. Allow me to reiterate, I'm not aiming for the best sound quality in this situation... :whistle: Anyway, my original question is how much space it would take up. I did not ask "does 48kbps sound good?". Obviously it won't, so please can some of the people here stop replying that "48kbps will sound crap or whatever", I already know that. It's so blas? to keep hearing this over and over again... Edited December 6, 2006 by digitalnemesis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue0ctane Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 Humm mine is half that but not that many hours. That's most likely because you aren't encoding your music at 48 kbps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NienorGT Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 Why putting all this in an ipod? 16Days will take you 4 days non stop encoding to get sucking quality music playback on a device that will be unable to play the 1 / 20 in a single charge. So you are wasting your time in order to waste your quality to fit 6000 songs in your iPod that, if you don't listing when on the charge, will give you 1 month non-stop (except charge time) of music playback without getting the same file played 2 times. But after few days of listing crappy quality song you will get bored to death of crappy sound and you will try to do like anyone like you and cutting your 6000 songs in few playlist and sync them when you sleep to not loose time. This is the maths that I think it's logic :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
