I need to shrink the size of please tell me i dont have to do all seperately.

hi help needed. i needed to shrik my songs, i was told to create AAC versions which i did do about 20 and it saved me quite a bit of space so now i would like to do all of my music that way. only 1 big problem i have 17453 songs please please tell me i dont have to do them all seperately, and there has to be a way that either deletes the old version automatically as then i will have double that amount and would take weeks to delete all the copies. please any advice would help.

Isn't it handy that I just wrote a script called ConvertFormat that would seem to answer your need. You do need to be sure the target format you are going to switch to is good enough for your aural pleasure because once you have sacrificed some quallity to shrink the files you can't get it back. The script preserves ratings, play counts, playlist membership etc. (excluding smart playlists dependant on format/bitrate).
I'd also strongly recommend you backup your media first. If you are only doing this to make room on your local drive rather than say squeeze more onto your devices then I'd seriously consider investing in more storage as making this move now will likely only stave off the inevitable.
The script replaces each selected file with a new copy in your chosen import format/bitrate. The originals are sent to the recycle bin to give you one last chance to reverse an error. If you want to convert your whole library you will probably have to do it in stages so you can clear out the trash. I'd also make a smart playlist that identifies "large" files, i.e. those in the format/bitrate you want to convert from so that you can't accidentally downsample the same file more than once.

  • I need to shrink the size of my 5gb fcp x movie so I can upload it to a specific site. If I buy this compressor will it be able to do that?

    The file is currently just over 5gb and the site where the video needs to be uploaded will not take anything over 5gb. Is this the type of program I need to shrink the size of my project or should I use/do something else?

    Hi Russ,
    Thanks again. I feel like I"m so close and hitting stumbling blocks and not finding answers when I google it.
    After I hit submit a sub box pops up with:
    Name: name of my video
    Cluter: Options or none or other
    Priority: High
    It then gives me an option to cancel, but the submit button on this box is greyed out.

  • How can I scale just one dimension of a pic? I need to shrink the width only, to fit the frame.

    HELP!  How can I shink only one dimension?  I need to shrink the width slightly to fit the frame; the program only allows scaling that is proportional, so when I shrink the width the heigh becomes too short.  Father Mike

    I'd recommend using the rectangular marquee and the crop command. This will crop the image to an exact size without any resampling or distortion. Cropping without constraint can cause distortion...like giving someone a cone head.
    Check the size of the image first by either looking in the Image<Resize<Image Size. Make a notation of the height since you don't want to change that in this case. (While you are there, change the resolution to the desired output...make notation of height after this step if you changed the resolution.)
    Select the Rectangular Marquee tool. Change the setting in the options bar to "Fixed Size" and input the desired size. (Along with the numbers, specify in this box in what units you desire...px, in, etc.
    Drag the marquee to the desired location. (As long as the marquee tool is selected, this selection box can be moved around).
    Go up to the menu bar and select Edit<Crop.

  • Can I shrink the size of a form text box based on the content?

    We are helping a customer migrate from some MS Word forms to use pdf forms.  We are screenscraping the data from an AS400 green screen system and populating these new pdf forms with data.  however some of the text boxes are in the middle of a sentence and the text box needs to be large enough to fit 50 characters but there are many times when the data we are entering is much less than 50.  The resulting document looks very strange with all of that extra white space in the middle of a sentence due to the size of the text box.
    So can we somehow shrink the size of the text box to fit the number of characters in the box?
    I considered making the box smaller and setting the font size to auto but I think that would look even more strange to have a word with smaller font in the middle of a sentence.
    Thanks,
    Trent

    Sorry, I should have mentioned I am using acrobat professional 9.  I see that I can change the size of the text field when I am designing the form but what I don't see is how to dynamically change the size of the text field based on what data is put inside it.
    Thanks,

    Can someone please tell me what I have done wrong>?  Obviously I am new to iweb, and need help.  I recently built a website in iweb with only 5 pages, and I made the height, width, & all of the specs regarding the page size exactly the same, but they all load as different sizes on the website.  Also the text i typed loads right away, and the images take forever to load with each page when i look at it on a pc, and not mac.  Can someone please help me!!

    Obviously I am new to iweb, and need help.
    And one of your Services is Webdesign?
    Small consolation : iWeb is a very advanced piece of software. So advanced that even highly skilled professionals have difficulty understanding and using it.
    Anyway, your pages are NOT the same size by design. Which can clearly be seen. But also by checking the source of the pages.
    The Home page is 665px wide and the Contact page is 820px wide. That doesn't happen by magic. It's user induced.
    So do what I do : pay attention to every tiny detail. Especially when it's your business. No excuse.

    Hi Earle Rheaume ,
    Using Adobe Acrobat you can directly convert the emails to PDF which would be less in size as compared to a DOC or Excel.
    Also, you can convert the existing word or excel file to PDF.

  • How do I shrink the size of a window on my desktop when online?

    I have a Mac desktop. I used to be able to go to the edge of the window or bottom or corner with my cursor and get a image that I could click and hold to change the size of my open window. I have unloaded and reloaded Firefox but still can't work. Called Apple and went to Safari and it works. Where did it go?

    Hello,
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    ''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
    Thank you.

    If you are on release 620, have a look at class CL_ABAP_MEMORY_UTILITES method GET_MEMORY_SIZE_OF_OBJECT. It will tell you how much memory is allocated and how much is actually used. Here is some sample code:
    TABLES: sflight.
    DATA: isflight TYPE TABLE OF sflight.
    SELECT-OPTIONS: carrid FOR sflight-carrid.
    SELECT * FROM sflight INTO TABLE isflight
            WHERE carrid IN carrid.
    DATA: size1 TYPE abap_msize,
          size2 TYPE abap_msize,
          size3 TYPE abap_msize,

          flag2 TYPE char128,
          flag3 TYPE char128.
    TRY.

    WRITE: / 'Flag, whether ONJECT is in the shared memory:', flag3.
    If you aren't on 620 or don't need to be that precise, you might try the following:
    DESCRIBE TABLE isflight LINES size1.
    WRITE: / 'Number of Lines:', size1.
    DATA: wa_sflight LIKE LINE OF isflight.
    DESCRIBE FIELD wa_sflight LENGTH size2 IN BYTE MODE.
    WRITE: / 'Size of one Line:', size2.
    size3 = size1 * size2.
    WRITE: / 'Total Size:', size3.
    Please note that the addition IN BYTE MODE only works in 610 and higher. It isn't neccesary before that release. However it is important to get accurate resuls in an Unicode System.

  • How to shrink the size of JRE?

    Hi,
    I wrote a simple Java utlity that performs some business logic for my clients. It is going to run on Windows environments. I created a .exe for this Java application. Obviously It also needs JRE. I made sure that JRE is also shipped along with this application. But the size of JRE is around 70 MB. Is there anyway to shrink the size of JRE? What is best practice for such a thing?
    Thanks in advance,
    Mustafa

    I'm not sure what the licensing implications are of customizing your own derivative of Sun's JRE, presuming that's the one you're using. If the agreement permits, you could remove classes you know that you won't use from the runtime JAR.
    Your best bet, though, sounds like using a Java-to-native compiler. There are a number of applications out there that could produce a Windows executable from your Java code and, since you know it's only going to be run on Windows machines, you lose very little if anything by going through this process.
    Best of luck.

  • How can you shrink the size of an upright picture to make it smaller without losing any of the detail in it??? At the moment, if I view them on my laptop, landscape photos fill the screen, but portrait photos only show the middle part.

    How can you shrink the size of an upright picture to make it smaller without losing any of the detail in it (in Slideshow)??? At the moment, if I view them on my Mac Laptop, landscape photos fill the screen, but portrait photos only show the middle part, so I loose the top and bottom of the picture.  Have tried cropping, but that means I lose top and bottom part of the picture, so that is not the answer!!

    Homestly haven't a clue what's going on there. 
    Try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder.
    (On 10.7: Hold the option (or alt) key while clicking on the Go menu in Finder to access the User Library)
    (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
    What's the plist file?
    For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.

  • Need to know the size of the variable declared as Xstring

    Hi All,
    I have got all the files from the applications server(for a given path) and have zipped all in to one file. But now need to find the size of it and throw a error message if it is less than a byte.
    Variable whick holds all the zipped data is " zip_content ". it is declared as " data: zip_content type xstring ".
    Not sure how to get the size of the variable " zip_content ".  
    When checked around found FM : EPS_GET_FILE_ATTRIBUTES but this requires File name or path. In my case I have only the
    variable.
    Thanks in Advance
    Regards
    Jithu

    Hi,
    When using
    data: l_cnt type i.
    l_cnt = xstrlen( g_zip_content ) .
    xstrlen will return only in byte mode and not in character mode.
    Thus the value l_cnt = 12112 which you got is in bytes which can be used to check your condition.

  • By mistake, I shrink the size of a particular page, which firefox then remembers. How do I get the size back to normal?

    When moving around on websites, somehow I manage to shrink the size of what is shown on the screen. I have not figured out how to get the size back to 'normal'. However, Firefox remembers this so when I reenter this particular size, it will still be in the smaller format. Very frustrating and as this has happened for at least two of my most watched sites, I am more and more using competing formats, e.g. Explorer.
    I have alsl asked more experienced users of Internet to try to solve this but they are as lost as I am.
    Looking forward to getting your advice.

  • To shrink the size of TEMP tablespace

    Dear all,
    There is a databse with RAC, now in OEM the size of TEMP tablespace has been reached at 99.9%. now we want to shrink the size of TEMP tablespace.
    how to we do that???????
    plz help me...........

    Temporary tablespaces usually show they are full, however this space is not actually in use. It is rather allocated. Oracle has evaluated the best way to obtain the most of performance, and he said it is better to allocate once than allocate-deallocate-reallocate extents, so temporary space is not 'released'.
    If you want to feel psychologically more confortable with lower allocated space, you can drop your tablespace (create an interim default temporary tablespace first) and recreate it.
    You can also rebuild temporary datafiles:
    alter tablespace temp add tempfile 'C:\ORACLE\ORACLEXE\ORADATA\XE\TEMP01.dbf' size 32m;
    SQL> select name from v$tempfile;
    NAME
    C:\ORACLE\ORACLEXE\ORADATA\XE\TEMP.DBF
    C:\ORACLE\ORACLEXE\ORADATA\XE\TEMP01.DBF
    SQL> alter database tempfile 'C:\ORACLE\ORACLEXE\ORADATA\XE\TEMP01.DBF' drop including datafiles;
    Database altered.
