MP3 bit rate / sampling rate.

Guest
Hi All,
I want to clarify some basic questions of MP3.

44.1KHz, 128Kbps

44.1KHz, sample a wav file 44.1*1000 times in one second. ( no doubt)

128Kbps
The total bit(s) per second.

Both are realated to music quality.


Q: Why MP3 format use kbps, not 16bit / 8bit.
Boki: User choice MP3 quality first, then the Mp3 codec convert content that
not more then xxxKbps.



WAV file size calculation:

sampling rate * stereo * bit rate(?) * time(second)
= 44.1K * 2 * 16bit * 60(s)
= 10.09368896484375 (MB)


am I right ?

That's a typical mp3 data rate.

I don't understand what you're saying here.

Because mp3 doesn't encode in fixed numbers of bits per sample.

CD audio = 44.1k samples/sec * 16 bits/ch * 2 channels. = 1.4112 Mbps

mp3 encoded music is anything typically between 64 and 320 kbps. It's a form of
lossy compression.

Thanks for answer!

You're welcome. Btw - I suspect when hard drive technology has advanced a few
more years and everyone has high speed broadband, I bet everyone will wonder
why they ever bothered with shitty mp3 files !

Then Apple can make another killing by selling wav players - or is that aiff
players in apple speak ( or whatever ? ).

um.. new codec.... new format ... new ... :D
