hi James,
Appreciate that, and let's close this one out at least for this list.
If you want to, you could write to 8zamora@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Thanks.

Hello Otto:
Neal's answer is accurate. Tonight when I am home, I'll run a test to see
how much material I can get on an audio mp3 disk.

A file recorded at 4100 Hz and 16 bit transferred to an MP3 file of
192 kbps is 41.2 megabytes. A cd will hold 700 Megabytes of data
minus a few mb in reality. If you are storing these as data files you
have your answer give or take a half hour or so. If you are writing
them to disk as MP3 audio that plays on your CD player, I don't
remember how much overhead is taken up by the file folder structure
and other things. I know, this is not completely helpful, but here it
is anyway. I also agree that recording that 192 kbps for old radio
shows is very much overkill, in my opinion, but I am sure you have
your reasons for doing so.

Hello,
Probably, but he wants a decent quality.
All I guess I am trying to figure out, is how many shows I can put on
a disc for him. Thanks in advance Bruce.

I know I probably should be just answering the question instead of
questioning the logic, but with OTR, isn't 192-bit overkill?
