Can I find out the file size of tracks before I import a CD?

My husband is an audiophile, we listen to classical music. (Although I indulge in some Beatles and other music on occassion.) Is there a way to find out how large the file sizes for each track will be for importing with Apple Lossless versus AAC, as well as different bit rates, before I import the CD onto the computer? I'd like to know how much disk space a classical CD is going to take up before I commit to using up however much of my hard drive it might take. I appreciate thoughts and ideas on the subject.
Cheers.

I think a rule of thumb is what you're looking for.
Full bandwidth CD audio (AIFF): about 10 MB/min
Apple Lossless: about 5 MB/min
MP3 @ 256k: about 2 MB/min
MP3 @ 128k: about 1 MB/min
Of course the MP3 file size is exactly linear with bit rate.
As for sound quality:
Apple Lossless is, as the name says, lossless.
MP3 @128k: fine for listening in the car or the kitchen etc. If you have an audiophile sound system, this will remind you why you spent all that money.
MP3 @256K: barely distinguishable from CD on very good equipment.
MP3 @320K: probably not distinguishable from CD.
I presume that since you're talking about importing classical CDs these are ones you own. Remember you can always do it again if you need higher fidelity or if better technology comes out. I import most CDs at 128k, since most of my MP3 listening is in the car, or walking, or as background. And I can always play the CD if I want to sit and listen.
The logic for purchased music is totally different -- you probably won't get to upgrade that without buying it some different way. So buying 128k MP3s (or AACs) is something you'll probably regret later. Buying 256k MP3s is a lot less problematic.

How can I find out the screen size of the users moniter using the Acrobat SDK?

How can I find out the screen size of the users moniter using the Acrobat SDK? I need to know how much sreen real estate that is available on the users moniter. Is there some call that I can make from the SDK to discover the maximun X and Y coordinates?
Thanks,
Gregory

Currently, I am testing on multiple moniters and it is defaulting to the moniter designated as the #1 moniter. For our purposes, this is acceptable. Once the two documents have loaded, the user can move and re-size at will.

How do I find out the file size of my photos, and change them to the size

This will sound inane, but I cannot figure out where to find the file size of my photos in iPhoto. I need a jpeg of a certain file size and image size for my blog background, but can't figure out how to even start.

If the limited quality options do not get you the file size you need export the full size image files to a folder on your Desktop and use Resize! to batch resize the image dimensions and file size (jpeg compression level) to what you need.
Click to view full size
With Resize! you can fine tune the pixel dimensions and file size.

HT201270 Can I find out the version of an update before I commit to a click?

I need to put an update on my i phone 3G but before I commit to the update I want to know what version it is. If I click download and update is it too late to know the version or will there be something that tells me and asks if I want to proceed.
Helen

Look up the app in the iTunes Store before you update. The app's page should tell you version, system requirements, and if the developer is at all reponsible what's changed.

How can I find out those files whose name has space character?

Hi
How can I find out the files whose name has space character in a whole file system?
Thanks
Jerry

thank you all
I can use this command to find out like
$find ./ -type f -exec ls -1 {} \; 2>/dev/null | grep " "
./space in name
while, I modify above a little to find out a spcific file systems like below:
$find /bbj* -type f -exec ls -1 {} \; 2>/dev/null | grep " "
/bbj14/appl/oracle/prdrep/S_STATIC_TAB_05.dbf
--while, I didn't see any space character in file name "S_STATIC_TAB_05.dbf"
what is wrong?
thanks

How can we find out the datasourse is having Beforeimage&afterimage in R/3

Hi Guru's,
This is Surendra,i have a doubt like' how can we find out the particular datasourse is having before image and after image in R/3 side before we are going to extract the data from R/3 to BW'.Can any body help me in this scenario.
thanks in advance,
Thanks&regards
Surendra.

Hi,
Let me explain it with a DS:
So lets take DS 2LIS_13_VDITM
So logon to R/3 -> Se11->Database table = ROOSOURCE>click on Disply->click on contents (CTRLSHIFTF10) -->mantion Datasource = 2LIS_13_VDITM.
and OLPTSrc Version = D.
And see the value for the field <i>Delta Process for a DataSource</i> (DELTA) .Here we get ABR as the value for the field.
And also you can find all available values for DELTA field.
With rgds,

How can i find out the size of video on my iphone 5?

How can i find out the size of video on my iphone 5?

As far as I've known, all iPhones (3G/3GS/4/4S/5) sold in China (probably only in China) have this low battery alert sound.
So called "localization" or what...
Actually many people found it annoying coz it plays even when the phone is switched to SILENT. However no solution has been found so far
PS: reeeeeeeally hope Apple could see this thread and at least give Chinese users an option to switch it off!!

How to find out the database-size

Hello,
how can I find out the size of the database.
I created the user as below. I defined the size of the database to 2MB. Now I want to know how much is the size of the database.
CREATE USER oemer
IDENTIFIED BY ...
DEFAULT TABLESPACE system
QUOTA 2M ON system;

Actually, since Omer is a veteran poster to the Forms and Reports forums, I doubt that. I think he is making a much more interesting journey: from front-end to back-end.
I'll be a bit more helpful this morning.
Databases are ways of organising disk space to store data. Fundamentally they consist of OS files, data files. The RDBMS handles by grouping them into tablespaces. When we build tables we assign them to a tablespace.
So, the size of the database is the sum of its datafiles. Of course, some tablespaces are used for sorting and holding undo information, so the size of the database for the purposes of persisting data is:
SELECT count(x.tablespace_name) AS total_TS, sum(x.MB) AS total_mb, sum(x.free_mb) AS total_free_mb
FROM   ( SELECT t.tablespace_name, sum(d.bytes)/1048576 AS mb, sum(f.bytes)/1048576 AS free_mb
         FROM   dba_free_space f, dba_data_files d, dba_tablespaces t
         WHERE t.contents = 'PERMANENT'
         AND    d.tablespace_name = t.tablespace_name
         AND    d.file_id = f.file_id
         GROUP BY t.tablespace_name ) x
/The SYSTEM tablespace is special. It is used by Oracle to hold the data dictionary, the definitions of all the objects in the database. It should not be used for storing application objects (it affects the performance, apatrt from anything else). That is why we must not use it as a default tablespace.
CREATE USER oemer
IDENTIFIED BY ...
DEFAULT TABLESPACE ts_users
QUOTA 2M ON ts_users; Cheers, APC

How to I find out the photos SIZE in inches. It will give the the resolution

How to I find out the photos SIZE in inches. It will give the the resolution of the image and the file size.

In iPhoto, images don't have a size in inches until you use them. Until then it is just the pixel size. If you know the pixel size and resolution you calculate it this way:
If the image size is 5184 x 3486 (like my Canon T3i, you divide the size in pixels by the resolution in pixels per inch to get the actual length, so for some common resolutions:
Res Width Height
--         5184     3486
300      17.3      22.6
220       23.6     15.8
72          72       48.4
So, as you can see, iPhoto is probably correct in ignoring file size for most recent digital cameras. There is plenty of resolution for almost any size you want to print.

How can I find out the dpi of an image in Acrobat.

How can I find out the dpi of an image in Acrobat. I have tried the pre-flight option but I really don't understand the pixels width x depth information that I get. I basically just want to know at dpi of a single image. Is there other program that will read my pdf file and tell me this information.

Thank you, tylerdurdain! That was ridiculously difficult to find. Not sure what version of Acrobat you're using in your image, but for those using Acrobat Pro 11 (in Mavericks), it's buried under View > Tools > Print Production.
That opens a panel on the right.
To keep from having to chase it down this way each time, right click on "Output Preview" and choose "Add to Quick Tools Toolbar". That adds a button to the top right of the toolbar.
Now you can call up the inspector with one click. Choose Object Inspector as tylerdurdain shows above, then click on the item displayed to get its properties.

How do I find out app file size

I only have 1.7gb left on my 8gb phone and notice that an app I am considering is 1.3 gb. How do I find the file size of apps before I buy them so I don't pay for something and then find out that I don't have enough space?
Thanks!

I mean if I download this file and am left with only 0.4gb and want to download more apps in the future. Or if I HAD only 0.4gb left and needed to remove apps to make room, how do I know how large the are?
Thanks!

How can i find out the table hierarchy

Hi experts,
I have one doubt. how can i find out the table hierarchy in the particular schema.
Let me explain my requirement in detail.. In my Database i have nearly 250 table each table have it's own temporary table(for authorization purpose we are maintaining the temporary tables) for each day i have to clear the temporary table data.
All temporary table connected with each other. i mean all the table having foreign key relationship.. while i attempt the delete the data from the temporary table it showed ORA-02292: integrity constraint violated - child record found.
So can any one please tell how can i delete the child table record first and then parent record table record.
Thanks in advance
