FreeLists / access-uk / [access-uk] Re: how much data used by radio streams

["Graham Page" <gpage@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

so at that rate you have just under 20 hours per GB, no calculator here and 
not that worried about the exact maths anyway.  This is quite a high bitrate 
for an internet radio stream however.  Many streams, particularly using 
speech are much lower than this, typically 64KBPS or even 32.

I think it is probably fair to say then that somewhere between 1 and 2 GB is 
likely to be a reasonable figure for the amount of data downloaded if you 
are a regular internet radio listener.

Subject: [access-uk] how much data used by radio streams


         Hi,

There was a question on this list about how much data passed through
a connection while listening to radio streams.  I think the
questioner may have a cap on data throughput on his connection. The
answer below is from a colleague.


Joe

if the stream is at 128 KBPS then:

128 KBPS
Divide by 8 = 16 KB/S
Multiply by 60 = 960 KB/Min
Multiply by 60 again = 57600 KB/Hour
Divide by 1024 = 56.25 MB/Hour
