If you use column mode in finder, when you have a file highlighted, simply vo-right arrow, and it opens the info window automatically, which will show the duration of the file. A vo-left arrow will close the window, and you're back at the file you were already looking at. hth. <--- Mac Acce

Hi there! Although it will take a [little or lot] of work! And you really do not want to add them to Itunes! How about adding the comments column to the view!

Ok. I'm stupid. I found the more info thing but I to want to be able to up and down arrow through the colomns. It helped when I was queueing up the mendelson a few minutes ago but a colomn would be nice. Take care all. On Oct 17, 2011, at 5:02 PM, Bryan Jones wrote: > Hi Cait, I see what you me

Hi Cait, I see what you mean now. That would be a nice feature to have in Finder. Unfortunately, as far as I can tell that column cannot be added in Finder. That doesn't necessarily mean there isn't a way to do it, it just means I don't know how. Perhaps somebody else on the list has an idea or

Oh Hmm. I did not see a more info under the info dialogue in the finder when I hit cmd I on a mp3. Strange. Maybe my system is broken? lol! On Oct 17, 2011, at 11:00 AM, Bryan Jones wrote: > Hi Caitlyn, > > One way to do this would be to open the "Info" page for the item by pressing > Command+I

The only way I know how is to import it in to tines and see how it reads the length. I'm too hoping there is a way to know this as I need to time my shows. On Oct 17, 2011, at 10:36 AM, Caitlyn Furness wrote: > Hi, > > Is there any way to know the running time of an mp3 file while viewing the >

Ok, I'd like to be able to arrow down through a folder of mp3's and see the run time(length) of the movie without doing the command I thing, if possible, on each individual file. I could do this on that other operating system, but honestly, I can't remember how I made it happen. It's not ahuge

Hi Caitlyn, One way to do this would be to open the "Info" page for the item by pressing Command+I and navigating down to the "More Info" section where you should find an item called "Duration" which seems to give the length in hours:minutes:seconds. I tried this on several MP3 and M4A files an

Hi, Is there any way to know the running time of an mp3 file while viewing the file in the folder list? For example, I have a folder with all my dvs movies in it(not a play list in i tunes, just a folder on my macintosh hd), and I'd like to be able to find out how long a movie is just by arrow
