Question

Estimate how much space would be needed to store digitally one copy of all the music ever recorded. State and justify any assumptions you make, and show how you worked out your answer. (Hint: you could start by finding information about the size of online music databases).

Compare the result you got with the amount of storage available nowadays on a smartphone or tablet, and discuss whether sometime in the future (given likely improvements in technology) people will be able to store all the music ever recorded on the personal computing devices that will be available then.

Explanation / Answer

I have seen many files and also done some investigation about this issue. Approximately every music file may take 3.5MB to 6MB. Based on research done on my file system, I have got this. We have to point that space depends on quality,for example if u have downloaded 128kbps it takes less space than 320 kbps as well as quality also very less comparitivly.

Coming to smartphones It takes some extra space in kbs for additional features.But almost it takes same space anywhere. Now a days smartphones comes with extrordinary features like dollby sound system etc. Based on these featured we may get little difference when comparing with system.

I think now a days no body using systems to store music files,because smartphones offering much ROM facilty to store high volume data.So peaole always likes to store their data in smartphones ofcource they are hand devices.Even there is no bothering about weather the data may loss,beacuse smartphines comes with regular synchronization availabiulity. Our files dtores automatically to the google drive.
