You must first understand that a gigabyte is a measure of computer storage capacity and not a measure of time. In MP3 format, a typical 3 minute song is about 4 megabytes. So, 3.27 gigabytes would be about 815 to 840 minutes, depending on compression/bit rates, etc. for MP3s. I am not aware of the compression ratios for m4a audio, which is becoming more common with the use of iPods and iTunes.

Please ask this question again, and spend a little bit of time explaining the situation.
If you're talking about CD Audio, it's about 363 minutes. If you're talking about DVD video with audio, it's a minimum of 36 minutes, or if you make the DVD lower quality it will stretch to however long you want. Decent quality will probably make it 60-120 minutes.
Your question depends on WHAT kind of media you are putting into minutes, and what BIT-RATE you are incoding it.

Hope that makes sense,
-K

That question makes no sense. It's like asking how many miles until Tuesday.
