Hi Hamid;

Thank you very much for the helpful hints.  This will help in getting a 
ballpark figure as far as how many songs can be put on 1 side of a cassette. 
Thanks again, take care.
Mike

I don't Know of an easy way to tell you the total run time of MP3 and
other audio formats. However, you can do some calculations regarding one
of the files you have. Try to calculate how many mega bites you have in
a file for each minute, then you can guess how long the total run time.
However, be careful, you should consider the differences between various
formats, for example, the wave format is generally around ten times the
size of the mp3 format.

Alternatively, you can open the folder containing the files, keep
tabbing while in the list view till you hear "play all" and press enter,
the files will start playing one after the other, if Winamp is your
media player by default, you can just keep pressing control plus shift
plus the letter t at the beginning of each file to hear the remaining
time of the current truck, to jump to the next truck, just press the
letter b and again check the remaining time. If the files you are
playing are not too many, you could use this method.

By the way, you must be running jaws for the second method to work...

I knew that both ways are time consuming, however, i don't know of a
better way, hope someone else has an easier way...

Good luck
