Hi,

I am trying to calculate the file size of a recorded wav-file in mp3-format.
I know I can just multiply the total number of seconds with 128 Kbit/s. But
how do all the other factors fit in here, e.g. 44,100 KHz, 2 channel stereo,
....?
Is 128 Kbit/s actually composed of 44,100 KHz and 2 channels? I guess I
could also use 128 Kbit/s with 22 KHz, and the file size would be smaller.
So how can I calculate that with 22 KHz?

Thank you for every advice!
Nico
