You're probably looking at this and wondering what it has to do with anything. Well it might not seem like much, but that's the amount of storage on a CD-ROM, and 25:00:00 is how long you can listen to MP3s before they max out. With so many services and devices relying on digital content, we all need to be aware of how much space we need for multimedia content. Digital audio has more capacity than physical. If you had more space, wouldn't you want to use it? It's not like if we have enough room it will magically reduce the amount of downloads needed for each song. We'll still need to download several tracks for any updated album, but because there's so much audio being squeezed, the individual files are larger. There are plenty of downloads around 5 MB per track, so if you have 4 tracks on an album it means you're looking at over 20 MB just to hear the songs. I know what you're thinking: "I can't fill up my hard drive" or "You don't understand how many songs I buy at once. If I can fit all my albums on a CD, who cares?" The thing is that hard drives are growing exponentially. You might not even think you can fit that much space, but what's the point of having more space than you need? Say you have a 1TB drive, which is probably about average these days. With 114 GB being used for audio, there's plenty of room for other files. There are also plenty of audio services which will let you do exactly what they were meant to do: preview music before buying it. With that in mind, here's a list of common audio files and their amount of space they take up: You can probably guess the most used file format. MP3s are so much smaller than other formats, but can still hold a lot of songs. MP3 is great for smaller amounts of media because it's also much quicker to download too. I have an iPod, but when I'm not listening to music it's because I'm doing something else. It's another good reason you should consider using MP3s though… WAV is kind of like MP3. It stores data in the same way (different names for the same thing), however it doesn't reduce audio quality like MP3 does. For this to work you need a program, a program which can convert a WAV file to an MP3 file. That's how I keep all my music on my computer. FLAC is probably the next best thing, as it doesn't have the restrictions of MP3s and also allows for further compression. AAC is a newer audio format that's very widely supported hardware-wise. It's meant to be used mainly for mobile phones, but I use it for other devices too. Similar to WAV and FLAC, lossless files are bigger than compressed ones, but take up less space. cfa1e77820
