I am looking for an application that will tell me the amount of time a .wav file will take up on a disk, does anyone know of an application that can help me? Thanks for any and all help

You can play wav files with almost any audio player, and it should tell you the length of the track. XMMS can do this fershur...

I like mplayer - it has the widest support I know of.

what I need the application for is to tell me how many minutes a whole bunch of wav files are, I am writing a script to help me burn audio cds easily and I want the script to determine if I have to many songs for the cds. Hope that explains what I need it for better sorry I didnt do it on the first time. thanks for the help though

You can get the duration of a wav file with:
ch_wave -info /path/to/something.wav

Then you can get your script to add up the totals.
