What's the maximum time limit on an audio file?

J. Britt Franklin

I know the file size is 15MB but is there an estimate on how long it takes to reach that size?

Thanks!

It's obviously going to depend on the audio format, on what you're recording (music? voice?), on the level of background noise, etc., but looking at various examples I have on my computer I'd say that a 5 minute MP3 should normally be OK.

Our Engineers agree with @MandyShaw1 's statement….under or around 5 mins is a good estimate. But the file size of 15MB is all they can hold to.

If you use audio tools to play with the bit rate, mono, and other settings, it's possible to get well over 30 minutes in less than 15 MB.
