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 On June 20, 2008, at 01:17AM, Scott Rutkowski wrote: >can anyone who uses iTunes tell me if you make a playlist in iTunes, is there >a way of finding out the total time of the playlist itself? >I've made a playlist and am trying tornd out the total time so I can burn it >to an audio cd.
