Google can calculate your bitrates
96Kbps multiplied by three hundred listeners is how many Gigabytes in a month? What about 128Kbps? If you’re working with Audio over IP and are trying to figure out how much bandwidth you need, the sums can make your head hurt.
Luckily, Google knows the answers to all of your tricky questions. All we have to do is ask it a question, and we get an answer! Let’s try.
I typed “96Kbps * 300 in GB/month” into the search bar, and upon pressing enter, I got a result: 96 Kbps * 300 = 9 028.50894 GB / month
Awesome! It’s a real help when you need to really crunch some numbers in regards to streaming, for example. With this brilliant feature, I can fantasise about the bandwidth requirements of an audio stream with hundreds of throusands of listenets. See:
24.414Gbps is a lot of bandwidth! But, if I was getting to 200,000 simultaneous listeners, then I think I’d be getting pretty good advertising revenue. One would hope, at least.
Google also knows about Petabytes:
See, that’s pretty handy! Plug any calculation in there (and I mean any calculation), and Google can find your answer.
Hopefully you find this as useful as I do.
