Remember: One minuteof an audio file in wave format in stereo with 44,1 kHz sampling rate,which gives a CD-like quality, will take about 10 MB, thus a short songin wave file format uses 30 to 50 MB, a file size which is nearlyimpossible to transfer over the Internet unless there is a cable internetconnection, a cheap flat rate and still lots of time.enIn CopyrightMP3Illegal DownloadsLegal Downloadsddc:780
