Audio Size Calculator FAQ

Can this calculator handle compressed audio formats like MP3 or AAC?

No, the Audio Size Calculator is designed specifically for uncompressed PCM/WAV formats. Compressed formats require different calculations based on bitrate rather than sample rate and bit depth.

How accurate are the size estimates provided by the tool?

The estimates are mathematically precise for uncompressed PCM audio, but actual file sizes may vary slightly due to WAV file headers, metadata, or rounding in the file system.

Can I switch between binary (base 2) and decimal (base 10) units in the results?

Yes, the tool offers options to display results in both binary and decimal units, allowing users to choose the measurement standard they prefer for storage planning.

Is there a limit to how long a duration I can enter for calculation?

The tool accepts duration inputs in minutes and seconds, but extremely long durations may result in very large file sizes that exceed typical storage capacities.
