What is a quick way to approximate the data rate when I stream music via wireless?
If I upload my music to the “cloud”, say, iCloud or Amazon Cloud, and then stream the music to an iPhone or iPad via a wireless connection, not WiFi (because let’s say I’m in a car), at what rate would I be using up my data allotment on my wireless data plan?
If, according to Windows, a music file is 3.1 MB with a duration of 2:30 minutes, would the simple division 3.1 / 2.5 = 1.24 MB/min give me the first approximation that I’m looking for, or are things actually more complicated than this?
