Hi Jude, There's an easier way to check the size, number, and total time of files in iTunes: use the status line below the songs table. If you want to know these statistics for any of your iTunes libraries or playlists, select that item in the sources table, tab twice to move to the songs table, then VO-down arrow from the songs table. If you are using Leopard you can use VO-Shift-C (last phrase copied to the paste board) to save this announcement, and then paste it (Command-V) to a file or document. Here's the results when I did this for the audiobooks sections of my iTunes Library:
121 items, 21:17:26:00 total time, 7.64 GB There are actually two modes for listing time, and if you want a less precise listing just click on the status line with VO-Shift-Space to switch between them. If I do that and then use the VO-Shift-C followed by Command-V combination I get: 121 items, 21.7 days, 7.64 GB The status line gives a summary of what's in your songs table. If I you limit what appears in the songs table by using the file browser or the search text field, the status line will also get adjusted. So you can select Podcasts in your sources table, stop interacting, press tab to move to the search text field and type in the name of your podcast (e.g. "Blind Cool Tech"), press tab again to move to songs table, and VO-down arrow a few times to the status line. Here's my entry pasted in: 6 items, 9.1 hours, 125.5 MB This is quick and dirty. If I want to find out more accurately and with less typing I would toggle on the file browser in the songs outline (Command-B) and select the name of the podcast series from the Albums column. Then I would VO-Down arrow to the summary status line. Podcasts have a few subscription buttons below the songs outline, so just press VO-Down arrow a few more times to get to the status info. For other playlists or libraries you get to the status info immediately with one VO-Down arrow from the songs outline.
