Ken,
A megabyte to a minute of play time generally is close for a 128 bit fixed
rate encoded MP3. A 256 bit fixed rate would be double, etc. However, many
files are encoded in Variable bit rate which is not quite as easy to predict.
In Winamp you can use Alt+3 during playback to obtain information about the
file including bit rates.

Subject: bit rate and file size?
Hi list members ken here with a question about the bit rate and running time
of songs downloaded. Today I downloaded a runaways song from 4shared.com the
file is the whole song but it only shows about 1.6 MB. I had heard somewhere
that a meggabite is about a minute of running time listening to a song. How
does the bit rate of a file impact the listening time? Also is there a way to
find out the bit rate of a song using the Jaws cursor while listening to it? I
know you can do it with a stream such as an Online radio station. Thanks ken.
