How many megabytes of memory is required to store a high quality digital audio file, assuming a playing time of 1.5 minutes.

A high quality digital uncompressed audio file usually has the following parameters: 44100 Hz sampling rate, 16 bit audio depth, 2 channels (stereo).

One second of sounding such a file will take:

44100 Hz * 16 bit * 2 = 1 411 200 bit,

1.5 minutes will be:

1,411,200 bits * 1.5 min * 60 s = 127,008,000 bits = 127,008,000 / 8 / 1024² = 15.14 MB.

Answer: 15.14 MB.
