1 Petabyte = 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 bytes

Avg. MP3 = 3MB 3,000,000 bytes

Total of 333,333,333,333 songs

And something else of interest

Not to pick nits, but you have three extra zeros on your peta, and they're dripping on my Falafel. Tongue Out


1 Petabyte (rounded, as opposed to the precise power of 2) is 1 quadrillion bytes, or 1 x 1015. By the same math as above, that's roughly 333 million songs. I'd post the precise power of 2, but there's no point, since drive manufacturers have been short-changing the public for as long as consumer hard drives have been on the market. hissy fit The bigger the drives get, the larger the discrepancy. ttth

What you described above would be an exabyte. We'll be there soon enough, so we all might as well get comfortable with all the "new" terminology. rotflmao
