At 320kbs, how many minutes of music is that on a 10 gig machine?

I think it's almost exactly 4369 minutes.

Uh, oh, math ... okay, I'll try. Someone correct me if I'm wrong:

320,000b/s * 1B/8b * 1KB/1024B *60s/1min = 2343.75KB/min

Right so far? Okay, but then we have the disk size versus on-disk size because hardware and software makers refuse to make things simple. So:

10GB (hardware) * 1,000,000,000B/GB (hardware) * 1KB (software)/1024B (software) = 9,765,625KB (software)

Right?

9,765,625KB/(2343.75KB/min) = 4166.67min of 320kbps MP3 stereo audio fits on a 10GB (hardware) drive.

Easy enough. ...
