    Quick question.

    How long would it take to go over 16gb download listening to 128kbps radio?

    Too tired / confused to work it out.

    Thanks!

    128kbit/sec = 128kbyte in 8 seconds.

    That's a megabyte in 64 seconds - call it a megabyte a minute.

    16GB is (about) 16,000 megabytes, which will take you 16,000 minutes to get through. That's 266 hours - so you'll get away with maybe 8 hours a day.

    I think.

    Or you could listen to stations that broadcast a lower rate:) Lots of them in ITunes for instance.
