~*McoreD*~ is an unknown quantity at this point
Can anybody please show me how to calculate the filesize of a given audio file's data?
In proper maths...

For Example:

Windows Media Audio 9
128 kbps, 44 kHz, stereo 1-pass CBR
Length: 04:29 (269 seconds)

How can we determine the file size mathemtically? I have got only slight idea on how. I know the know the maths to do it but not how to use the kHz data for it.

So what I did was:

128kb/s * 269s = 34432kb
34432kb / 8b = 4304kB
4304kB / 1024 = 4.203125 MB = 4.2MB

But the actual file size is 4.14MB
Is that right? But I didn't use the fact 44.1kHz Will that affect the file size? Please help..
