Shakespeare VS mp3 Player 


Prompt: Shakespeare’s complete works have approximately 3.5 million characters. Which is bigger in file size: Shakespeare’s complete works stored in plain ASCII text or a 4 minute song on mp3? How much bigger?

        Although this question is highly subjective and may vary the answer is relatively the same. A high quality mp3 audio file (256 kbps) for 4 minutes. The number of Mega Bytes in the mp3 player is 7.68 approximately. Shakespeare's 3.5 million words is roughly about 3.5 MB. However even if the MP3 file was minimal at roughly 3.84 MB which is at 128 kbps, it is still larger.
