Enter the number of songs and the average length per song into the calculator to determine the total album length.
Album Length Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the total length of an album.
AL = NS * ALS
Variables:
- AL is the album length (minutes)
- NS is the number of songs on the album
- ALS is the average length per song (minutes)
To calculate the total album length, multiply the number of songs by the average length per song.
What is Album Length?
Album length is the total duration of all the songs on an album. It is a measure of the time it takes to listen to the entire album from start to finish. This calculation is useful for artists and producers to estimate the total runtime of an album during the planning and recording process. It is also helpful for listeners who want to know how much time they will need to listen to an album in its entirety.
How to Calculate Album Length?
The following steps outline how to calculate the Album Length.
- First, determine the number of songs on the album (NS).
- Next, determine the average length per song (ALS) in minutes.
- Next, gather the formula from above = AL = NS * ALS.
- Finally, calculate the Album Length (AL) in minutes.
- After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.
Example Problem :
Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.
number of songs on the album (NS) = 12
average length per song (ALS) = 3.5 minutes
