yup!


1024 bytes = 1kb, 1024 kb=1mb, 1024 mb=1gb, so -> 2 gig = 1024*1024*1024*2 = 2147483648 bytes

Originally posted by ali92 Does this still exist? It wouldn't make much sense if it did, as DVD, which holds a minimum of 4.35 GB (4.7 billion bytes) is out. If this DOES exist, how would you get by, for say, recording a TWENTY-FOUR HOUR set and compress it to MP3? At 320 kbps, the single file would be over 3 GB. Some people would say "just split the file" but, what if the music never faded out or got interrupted in some other way? What if the DJ played perfectly for exactly 24 hours, with no errors? There would be no reason to split the file. Maybe encode the MP3 at 160 kbps, which would result in a 1.5 GB file? That can be done but, quality is lost. Variable or Average BitRate? That would work but, some MP3 players still don't support it. Is there a way around the 2 GB size limit? Also here's another problem: Does Winamp 3 support single files longer than 999 minutes, 59 seconds? 24 hours is equal to 1440 minutes. Has anyone tested this? I know that Winamp 2 would show "000:00" for "1000 minutes, 0 seconds" (it shows "00:00" for no time so, there's no confusion until 1100 minutes has elapsed, where "100:00" would be displayed). Now, another problem: CUE file. Has anyone made a CUE file that was longer than 255 minutes and the points were correct when the file was played through Winamp via the MP3CUE plugin? If this worked, how about a CUE file that was longer than 999 minutes, 59 seconds, 74 frames? Another problem with CUE files: Can more than 99 tracks be used? If not, I know that Index marks can be used but, they can't have their own CD-TEXT entries and you can't jump to them in MP3CUE. A 24 hour live set recording would pose many problems with software and hardware. Are there ways around these obstacles? If so, what ways? If it's not known yet, I may pioneer into it when I get into DJ-ing...

Wow, you wrote all that - are you, perchance, the person across the road who lives in his parents cellar?
