Actually, my friends and I wasted an entire Chemistry period trying to figure out how long it would take to listen to 60GB of audio, say on an iPod Video. I think it calculated one and a half years of constant listening, or like twenty years if only four hours a day.

Average audio quality = 128kb/s

128kb/s * 1000b/kb * 1B/8b = 16,000B/s
60GB * 1024MB/GB * 1024KB/MB * 1024B/KB = 64424509440B
64424509440B / 16,000B/s = 4026531.84s
4026531.84s * 1min/60s * 1hr/60min * 1day/24hr = 46.60337 days

If you didnt stop listening. We calculated it by four hours a day.

46.60337 days = 0.1276 years ¬ 1.5 years

or

46.60337 days = 279.62022 days @ 4 hours/day = 0.766 years ¬ 20 years
