Data Usage for Offline

jamSbox — Thu, 29 Sep 2016 00:26:16 GMT

I've been wanting to download a playlist but it has 600+ songs in it. I can only use a certain amount of data (about 1Gb). May I know how much data is consumed from let's say a 4 minute song when I want to save it offline? Thank you

Hey @jamSbox, here's a general guide for you on how much data is used while streaming:

96 kbps => 0.72 MB per minute.
160 kbps => 1.2 MB per minute.
320 kbps => 2.4 MB per minute.

Hope that helps!

Hi there,
You'll get a variation of answers but statistically, streaming one song cost about 2.4mb, therefore 4 minutes would cost you 9.6mb... I'll let you do the rest of the maths, but there's a start 🙂
