Hi Scott,

To find out summary information about a playlist, or about any
the tracks that are displayed in the songs outline for your 
selection in the sources outline, VO-keys+right arrow from the
songs outline past the buttons for "New Playlist", etc. to the 
status line.  This will tell you how many items, total time, and total
space (in Mb, Gb, etc.)  For example, if you have a CD inserted,
this might be 21 songs, 1.1 hours, 721 MB.  There are two display
modes, so if you want the detailed time (hours, minute. and seconds)
you should click on the entry with VO-keys-shift-space to toggle
between the summary and detailed mode. If you don't have your
mouse cursor tracking your VoiceOver cursor, you will have to
route your mouse cursor to your VoiceOver cursor before you
do the VO-keys-shift-space:  VO-keys-Command-F5 will do this.
(On older laptops or depending on how you have your settings,
you may have to hold down the FN key, too).  This will change
the information, for example, from "1 item, 20.3 minutes, 7.4 MB"
to "1 item, 20:23 total time, 7.4 MB".

Generally speaking, iTunes is one of the applications for which
having your mouse cursor tracking your VoiceOver cursor makes
things a lot easier.  Otherwise, you'll have to route your mouse
cursor to your VoiceOver cursor before you perform a number 
of these actions. 

The summary information is for anything that appears in the 
songs outline for your selected source -- this could be the total
size of your Music Library, Podcasts, etc.

Cheers,

Esther
