Hi,

There are some mp3 bitrate calculators in the doom9 download section, never used them tho so i am unsure of their reliability...

I'm not having a go at anybody at all here .... but i find it wierd that a lot of ppl ask this question - i mean, presumably ur going to end up encoding the audio anyhows, so why not do it first and know the exact size ??

Or am i missing something...

Bye.

For 128kbit mp3 CBR -> "Final Filesize" is around "Source Files" devided by 10 or 11.

Don`t know the other bitrate ratios
