How much music can a game fit?

[Furkentine]

I'm looking at putting custom music into my game but with a 4 MB limit im not sure how much I could fit. Does anyone have a good estimate? Thanks.

compress your music with tools like cooledit pro.
you'll never be able to fit large files, but then you can just loop whatever you can get into the map within 4mb.

(damn, i'm on a spamming spree.. ^^)

The average compression ratio is about a meg a minute. So if you have a three minute long song, you can expect it to take up about 3 megs.

It depends on bitrate. For example, I have a 2:40 song that has a 412 bitrate, and is 3 megs. Then I have a 512 5:50 song that's 7.
