Question: Consider a digital mp3 player that has 1024 × 106 bytes of memory. Assume that the audio clips stored in the player have an average duration of five minutes.
(a) Assuming a sampling rate of 44 100 samples/s and 16 bits/sample/ channel quantization, determine the average storage space required (without any form of compression) to store a stereo (i.e. two-channel) audio clip.
(b) Assume that the audio clips are stored in the mp3 format, which reduces the audio file size to roughly one-eighth of its original size. Calculate the storage space required to store an mp3-compressed audio clip.
(c) How many mp3-compressed audio files can be stored in the mp3 player?
