How many bits are needed to digitally record 90 seconds of your favorite music tune? The sampling rate commonly used for music is 44.1 kHz (i.e. 44100 Hz). Each sample is represented using 16 bits. Note that music is usually recorded in stereo, requiring hence twice the number of samples that would be needed for a non-stereo recording of an audio signal
