File size?
Forgive me if this has already been addressed but I don't have a whole lot of time to search through every forum.
I've just bought my iPod (40GB) and am raring to start putting music on it. I was wondering if anyone could tell me what the difference in file size would be if I imported at 128 kbps, 160 kbps or 192 kbps? With 40GB of space I could probably do it at 192, and still never have to worry about room, but wanted to know anyway.
Thanks in advance for any help.

My rough calculations on paper seem to work out to about the following (given 4 minute song):
128kbps: 3.75 MB
160kbps: 4.69 MB
192kbps: 5.63 MB
Someone can correct me, since I'm probably off by a little.
4 minutes: 3840 KB = 3.75 MiB
This equals roughly 10,923 songs at 40 GiB of space.
160 kb/sec = 20 KB/sec = 1200 KB/min = 1.172 MiB/min
4 minutes: 4800 KB = 4.6875 MiB
This equals roughly 8,738 songs at 40 GiB of space.
160 kb/sec = 24 KB/sec = 1440 KB/min = 1.406 MiB/min
4 minutes: 5760 KB = 5.625 MiB
This equals roughly 7,282 songs at 40 GiB of space.
(Unless I also miscalculated, MCQ's calculations are therefore correct.)
