So if CDs can hold 74 minute of uncompressed audio with 650 Megabytes, a
(Single-sided, single-layered) DVD with 4.37 Gigs could hold...
509 minutes (8.48 hours) of uncompressed (CD-quality) audio
2545 minutes (42.4 hours) of MLP-compressed (CD-quality) audio
5599 minutes (93.3 hours minimum) of MP3-compressed audio *
* I once read that MP3 gave compressions of 11:1 up to 20:1, but I don't
know what setting (bitrate, frequency, etc...) this is at.
Of course, none of this is related to MiniDisc, but interesting nonetheless.
