How much space does album artwork need?

I have about 15,000 songs in my iTunes library, of which only a small percentage (maybe 5-10%) have album artwork.
If I get artwork for all(or most) of the rest of the library, how much ipod space will that use?
I have 4 ipods, only one of which can display artwork. Roughly, how would all the artwork impact what I can store on the displaying ipod?
Does artwork have any impact on storage capacity for non-displaying ipods?
Thanks !
Carl

If iTunes gets the artwork, it will not affect the amount of songs on the iPod.
If you add the artwork yourself to songs, it will affect the amount you can put on the iPod as artwork you get yourself is stored as part of the song file and transferred to the iPod, even if the iPod cannot display artwork.
If the artwork is 200kB & you add that to all songs, it will be ~2.8GB just for artwork.

  • How much space does Time Machine need?

    My computer's hard drive is 100 GB, so I created a 100 GB partition on my external hard drive for Time Machine, before I really understood how it worked. Of course, I eventually got a message saying it was out of room. If I understand correctly, Time Machine will continue to back up changed files, but it can no longer maintain a complete series. Rather, it will be forced to delete older backups to make room for newer.
    Anyway, do you think a 200 GB partition would be big enough? Or does it simply depend on how much work you do on your computer (or how many files you change and how big they are)?
    I'm thinking of reformatting my 500 GB external hard drive into five partitions...
    100 GB for cloned copy of my hard drive
    200 GB for Time Machine
    Three other partitions for quickly backing up and/or storing websites, graphics, music and things that take up too much space on my computer.
    I still don't see a tremendous need for Time Machine, as I very, very seldom go searching for lost files. However, I suspect there may be occasions when it might come in handy.
    Thanks.

    Really depends how much stuff you do, how many files you change each day, how much stuff lands on your computer for a few days then is deleted (for example I have several GB of photos on my Mac for a few days until I do some work on them and drop them on the company server, so I have lots of stuff getting backed up into Time Machine that doesn't even stay on my Mac)... It doesn't hurt to have a backup of them locally in case something goes wrong on the company server...
    So what I'm saying is, it totally depends on what you do with your Mac... I've got a 120GB drive, getting backed up to a 500GB drive, and I figure that gives me a year or two of not having to think about it. Drives are so cheap now you are best to just go a bit bigger for the convenience of letting it backup everything..

  • How much space does do I need?

    I want to create a website, and post it to the internet via. FTP protocol.
    So I am probably buying a webhotel and domain from www.one.com, as it seems really cheap, and that's what I need.
    The question then becomes, how much web space do I need.
    Is there anyway to check in iWeb how big the webpage is?

    One way would be to publish your site from iWeb to a folder on the Desktop. Then click on the folder named as your site and do ⌘-I (or Control click and choose Get Info). The size of the folder will be indicated in the upper right of the Info pane.

  • FYI: How much room does album artwork take up on the iPod?

    I was wondering the answer to this question before I tried it, so I thought I'd let other people know what I found out:
    With the new 'get album artwork' feature in iTunes 7, I've added a bunch of artwork to my library, but was worried it would take up too much space if I loaded the art onto my 4GB iPod nano as well (through a checkbox in the 'music' section of the ipod overview screen). It turns out the size required is pretty modest, and for me worth it.
    I had 735 songs taking up 3.64 GB, with 80mb free. Adding the artwork only took up about 17mb, leaving me with about 63mb free. Not bad.
    iBook G4 800Mhz 12", iPod nano (1st gen)   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    I did a test on this several months ago, by attaching the same artwork at different resolutions. The result is that the .jpg file is added into the the .mp4 file as is - no compression on the data seems to be going on, judging from the differences in file sizes. There is definitely good reason to keep your artwork small, but not so small that the iPod has to upsample it to display (you'll get a blurry/pixellated image in that case). I keep mine all at 180x180. Since the new video iPod has 240 lines, it may be good to go a little higher. But some images you get off the web are big (and have other problems as well), so using automatic artwork loaders will work against you in this case. Personally, I don't mind spending a minute or so (while the CD imports) to clean up the image before I add it to the songs.

  • How much spaces does an iMac need?

    I live in a condo in Japan and physical space is limited.
    How much physcial space do I need for an iMac?
    I have a desk in a spare room where it would fit perfect, but we don't have central heating (Japan generally doesn't have it) so in winter that room is not heated and the daily temperature hovers around 30 degrees Farenheit.
    In our heated living/dining room I have a tea cart that is 15 x 24 inches, but I'm not sure if that is big enough.
    Another option would be that in winter to move the computer from the spare room to the dining room table every time I wish to use the computer, but that seems a little weird and I would hate to drop it along the way.
    I have my eye on either the 17-inch iMac, upgraded 2.16 Ghz, upgraded 2 GB memory, and upgraded 250 GB hard drive.
    or
    the 20-inch iMac, 2.16 Ghz, upgraded 2 GB memory and 250 GB hard drive, both with wireless keyboard and remote.
    I thank you in advance for your suggestions.

    The iMac is about as compact as you can get in a desktop computer. It basically takes up the same amount of space as a monitor of the same size. Of course, you also need a place to put the keyboard and mouse, but the iMac itself isn't very big.
    If your tea cart isn't big enough, you might consider buying or building a small table for the iMac. There is at least one company that sells a desk made specifically for the iMac, and it's rather compact (http://www.raindesigninc.com/igo.html)
    I wish I was back in Japan. I lived there for a fair while, but came back to the states two years ago. Didn't have a Mac in Japan though.

  • How much space does a artist need for ipad(16 gb, 32gb, 64gb)?

    Which i pad would be best for playing games and eductaional apps?

    An artist needs 128gb. They do not make that so you will have to settle for the 64gb Your imagination needs to fit in there! If you are going to download art apps, edit movies, and take lots of photos that get transferred to the iPad that is going to take up lots of space. If you are a starving artist, you'll be able to get by on 16gb and eating a little less for a few months, but you'll need to be more careful managing space.

  • How much space does iOS takes?

    Dear Apple Support Community,
    I want to know how much space does the iOS takes (installed) on a default iPhone 4 for all it's versions (eg. latest iOS 3, latest iOS 4 and iOS 5).
    Watching the 2011 WWDC keynote on iOS 5, you will see a handful of new functionalities being added that will take the user experience even further, which is great!
    But if you have minimum technical background, you know that more features means more lines of code, and this WILL take some extra space on your device. Also, iOS is an ever-changing product distributed over the web, but the iPhones have always the same hard-fixed ammount of storage space (only changes if you buy a new device).
    This is what I'm looking for:
    iOS 3.5.1 -> 1,2 Gb
    iOS 4.3.3 -> 2,1 Gb
    iOS 5.0.0 -> 2,9 Gb
    ** those are fictitious values, most probably not the actual ones **
    Important: I'm just curious about it, I don't find this being a big issue as 16 or 32 gb of space is pretty much. Even if the OS takes 2~3 gigs out of it, there's still plenty space for everything you need on the go.
    Thank you very much!!

    Something like 660MB, apparently:

  • How much space does MacBook Air OS and software take up?

    Greetings,
    I am looking to replace my aging 2008 MacBook with a new MacBook Air.  I want to get the 11 inch model most likely with the 128GB of storage.   I will use it mostly for email, web surfing and other light duty work. 
    While I don't intend to load it up with various software, I will probably put a half dozen peices of software on it, over and above the Apple software it comes with. But, no biggies like PhotoShop.    My question is this:
    About how much space does the Apple OS and the assorted Apple software that comes standard take up? 
    I cannot spend a lot and would like to avoid buying the bigger drive if possible.
    Thanks.

    new from box it will have 121 GB available.
    I cannot spend a lot and would like to avoid buying the bigger drive if possible.
    Thats a bad working premise, no computer is a data storage device.  You dont need a huge SSD, just an external HD for data backups and for putting tons of big media files on.
    128GB is plenty for almost everyone,  IF they know very very simple rules of drive management.

  • How much space does a new app take?

    My 16GB Touch is pretty full (about 360MB left after all the music is loaded). How much space does the typical app take up?

    There are some that are larger (Super Monkey Ball supposedly takes up 36 MB), but most that I have seen or downloaded are around 1 MB. SUPER small

    But I do not have enaugh disk capacity at the moment. So I ned to order it
    You donot have to perform the client copy actually . You have to just run the test, it will not consume any disk, probably some archive files will be generated
