Hi Donnie, Below are some notes that I have saved that might help.
From: "lawrence taylor" < ltlightf...@cox.net> Hi there Mike, Here are a few tidbits that might prove helpful. Generally speaking 1MB equals to 1 minute of music encoded at 128 Kbps, ... 1 minute of DVD-quality video with sound, 11 MB, 11000 KB or 11000000 bytes ... From: "Hamid Aitouznag" < hamid.ma...@gmail.com> 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 Hamid AITOUZNAG From: Hamid Hi mike, There is another way to get a good amount of information about the files you are arrowing while in a folder, including the bitrate, lenth, size... You just have to check a checkbox in the jaws configuration manager untitled toolTips, once you do so, you will be able to hear a lot of information related to the file you are on without need to look up its properties. However, i noticed that it says the run time only for the MP3 files not for RM files. Try it and see whether you like it or not... Good luck Hamid AITOUZNAG Sound Files, How to Find the Default Attributes / Settings 1. Highlight the sound file you want to check the attributes / settings of. 2. Press the application / context menu key, press the letter R, until you land on properties, & press enter. 3. Control + Tab to the Summary tab. 4. Tab 1 time to Properties List View, & you will probably hear, Audio Format PCM 1 of 5. 5. Now, arrow up, notice that you arrow up, not down, to hear the attributes / settings of the selected sound file. Take care.
