How do I see file sizes of songs?

2 questions actually.
1st. How do I analyze my iTunes library to see which song files take up the most space? Is there a best practice for doing this? Is it through iTunes? Or through the Finer? Please advise.
2nd. How do I have 2 formats of a song in my library, i.e. an aiff file in iTunes, which always only stays on my computer, and an Apple Lossless version of the same song/track which I can sync to my iPod Touch? Is there something more flexible than the File-->Create New Version-->Create mp3? I don't want mp3, that resolution is too low. I would like to have Apple Lossless.
Running iTunes 11.1.3
Thanks!

Hi,
In song view, go to menu > view > view options and select bit rate, file type and size.
In preferences, you can change import settings to Apple lossless. When you use file > create new version you can now can now convert from aiff to lossless.
Create playlist based of file type being lossless.

Seeing File Size in Finder

I can find out the size of a garageband file by using getinfo. This of course is relatively tedious. How do I see the sizes of gargareband files in Finder?

Thanks for the response. I've tried that. Here is what I get:

How do you see the size of your library now in iTunes 11?

On iTunes 10 when you were looking at your song list, at the bottom everyone has seen the small informative text that tells you how many days it would take to listen to the songs that you currently have on the screen. Where is that information now??
How do you see the size of your library, or is there an option in iTunes 11 that will allow you to enable a way to see that text again at the bottom of your screen?

In the menu bar, open "view", and click "show status bar"
(Or the shortcut to toggle it is CTRL + / )

Can i have a smaller file size for songs that i put on iphone vs mac

i have ripped a lot of my cds to itunes on my MBA. i used the aac high quality setting.
is there a way that i can upload lower quality/smaller size versions of the songs that i will put on my new iphone ?
Q2: once i rip cd into itunes (on my MBA)... is there an easy way I can later decide to save space and re encode them at 128 instead of 256 (for example).
i notice that you cant just willy nilly copy/delete from the itunes media folder because itunes doesnt seem to 'refresh' with the new files.
thx!

1. the ONLY place i see where you can set the sampling rate,etc is under preferences/general/'when a cd is inserted".... am i missing something?
No.
2. when i want to add an existing mp3 file (from outside the apple realm) , i am using itunes "add to library" and browsing to some mp3 file(s) . it doesnt give me a option to convert it to an m4a format... it seems to just add it to the itunes library without changing the mp3 file .... do i have any option here?
You don't need to convert formats and I would not recommend you do so. You will simply lose quality.
To answer your original question...
can i have a smaller file size for songs that i put on iphone vs mac
If you want smaller files on the iPhone, see my post above which converts them when syncing to theiPhone.
If you really want to convert when adding songs to iTunes...
iTunes prefs > General - Import settings as you want.
Hold Option (Mac) or Shift (Windows) and choose File > Create New Version > Convert AAC (or what your settings are in previous step).
This will convert and add the file instead of adding the file then converting and having 2 of the same song in iTunes.

How can I see the size and colour of text in DW Cs5?

Hi forum, how do you see the size and colour of a piece of text in Dreamweaver Cs5, I have some text in a dreamweaver file which is a size I like and a colour I like and I want to make a CSS rule with these characteristics. How can you see what size and colour a piece of text is?
Many thanks for any help
Gareth

<td height="89" colspan="5" valign="top"><p><font color="#FF0066" size="-1" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">what is the text size, colour and boldness of this piece of text.</font></p></td>
Above code is deprecated. CS5 will not pick up these styles in the CSS styles panel. Legacy sites are not simple to work with. They need to be converted to modern standards. You do this by stripping the HTML styles from markup and re-writing styles to CSS.
<p>This is a normal paragraph</p>
Put your CSS styles between your document's <head> and </head> tags:
<style type="text/css">
p {
color: #FF0066;
font-size: small;
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
</style>
Or, create an external stylesheet to which your HTML documents are linked like this:

How to change archivelog file size in oracle 11g

Hello,
In my oracle 11g database inside flash recovery area how to increase each files size , now it 41 Mb per file iits name is o1_mf_1_161_8mfpwtbj_.arc how to change it to
the understandable name.
Thanks and regards

Hi,
As you know archived log is create when online log is switch. Archived log size might be maximum equal to online redo log size.
Because archived log size is copied from online redo log file, if you want change archived redo log size, then you must change online redo log size.
But you must think, what is advantages and disadvantages of change of online redo log size, it depends direct task LGWR process.
You can change archived redo log name with change LOG_ARCHIVE_FORMAT parameter.

How can I display file size in Finder

Hi folks,
I am trying to figure out where 40GB of data is hiding. I would like to see file sizes in the Finder window associated with my folders in Mountain Lion 10.8.2.. I'm having, what seems to me, a strange problem. When I 'Get Info' on my Hard Drive, the disc space left is only 40GB out of 120GB (ie used being 80GB). My confusion is that when I painstakingly go through the files, I can only account for 48 GB with 'Get Info' on each folder. This is a rather combersome process and I am hoping there is a work around for viewing the file sizes within Finder and not having to open 'Get Info' on each and every folder like I have been.
I have a MacAir 13 inch 2011
Thanks!

Thanks for your time and suggestions, dominic23.
I looked through both links and sadly, none of these suggestions have worked. I have tried many on my own since posting trying to figure out why the volume is being doubled on my hard drive. I've deleted log files, and done a sweep with Onyx to no avail. Strangely, the option of seeing the volumes under 'About this Mac' and 'System' does not have a listing for storage. Weird. I am the only user/administrator on this computer and I don't have shared files.
I'm just stumped.

How do you see the size of your hard drive

I am new the the MAC world and I am trying to figure out some things. How do you see the size remaining on your hardrive?

If you have a folder open or dubble click on your hard drive you, can turn on the status bar which will show you available disc space:

How to get the file size (in bytes) for all files in a directory?

How to get the file size (in bytes) for all files in a directory?
The following code does not work. isFile() does NOT recognize files as files but only as directories. Why?
Furthermore the size is not retrieved correctly.
How do I have to code it otherwise? Is there a way of not converting f-to-string-to-File again but iterate over all file objects instead?
Thank you
Peter
java.io.File f = new java.io.File("D:/todo/");
files = f.list();
for (int i = 0; i < files.length; i++) {
System.out.println("fn=" + files);

     System.out.println("file[" + i + "]=" + files[i] + " size=" + (new File(files[i])).length() ); }

Also, in future, when posting code, code snippets, HTML/XML or input/output, please use the code tags to retain the indentation and formatting.   To do that, select the code and click the CODE button seen on the Plain Text tab of the message posting form. It took me longer to clean up that code and turn it into an SSCCE, than it took to +solve the problem.+

How to reduce jpg file size, not pixel dimensions?

I am preparing images for the web and I really have 2 questions: one about gifs, and one about jpgs.
My standard procedure is to reduce the image to the desired pixel dimensions at 600 dpi
That gives me a crisp small image. then I either use it as is if the file size is low enough (I try for under 600 kb) or convert it to a gif with the save for web and devices tool.
So here are my 2 questions (I will count this solved with either answer)
1) When I convert to a gif I have the 4 boxes: one with original size, the other 3 with options but often the options are too low res for me How do I change my 3 options to start at a higher gif res?
2) If I try to reduce the file size of the jpg in the image size box I set the resolution lower ( 400, 300), which lowers the pixel dimensions and the filesize, but I don't want to cahnge the pixel dimensions. And If I reset the pixel dimensions back to the size I want them, even though it is a lower resolution the file size doesn't change. How to reduce jpg file size using only the resolution, not pixel dimensions? PS I have tried messing with checking and unchecking the 3 little boxes( scale styles, constrain proportions, and resample) but nothing has worked.

Gif is not a great filetype, especially if you want a crisp image. What are your pixel dimensions?
For web, it makes no difference what the dpi is, only the final pixel dimensions so once you have that as you want, use 'Save for Web and Devices' and you can lower the quality - 100% being max and 0% being lowest. I wouldn't save anything below 55%. For a 600kb image, your dimensions must be rather big.

How can i see the size of the songs listed in iTunes?

Is there any option to see the size of the songs and albums I have imported to iTunes? I think thats really basic information, but I'm not able to find it...

Great, thanks a lot, Klaus. That's exactly what I was looking for.
Not easy to find though (as usual...). I had spent half an hour looking for that before posting.

How to read music file size?

I have the third generation iPad. I've sync'd (via iTunes of course) a CD album in Apple Lossless and another CD album in AIFF. Most other audio that have already been sync'd is in MP3 format.
So how can I see the file size of each song in the iPad?

Well that's how to see the file size in iTunes. But I'm concerned (suspicious actually) that there's some background modification or something after getting sync'd with the iPad.
So I'm curious about how to see the file size of each song IN THE iPAD directly.
Or not possible?

How to update "Estimated File Size"

As I fiddle around with my Export Settings (CS4), I don't see any update in the "Estimated File Size" info at the bottom left of the screen.
It seems to me that as I move the Target Bitrate and Maximum bitrate (as well as the other options), I would see the Estimated File size increase or decrease so I can have real time feedback on my settings.
Is there a setting I need to change or a command I need to make in order to see an updated "Estimated File Size"?
Thanks
...Rowby

Nevermind. I see that the sliders do indeed give me a reak time updated file size. Don't know how I missed it.
