Determining the length of an audio track

The length of each audio track in GarageBand and iTunes is shown in the Media pane. If your project uses audio tracks from another source, or if you are using an entire playlist as background audio for a slideshow or menu, you can easily determine the length of the audio.

Here are ways to see information about an audio track:

To see information about audio in a slideshow, hold the pointer over the audio well in the slideshow editor (shown below).

After a brief pause, the audio track information appears.

To see information about audio in a menu background, hold your pointer over the menu (with no buttons or text objects selected) and press Command-I to open the Menu Info window.

The audio track information is listed next to the audio well.

If a single song is used, the name and duration of the song are displayed. If a playlist is used, the name of the first song and the duration of the playlist are displayed.
