Help finding cumilative size of files under directory

[pelonbiologo]

Hi all!

I have a complex directory with tonnes of *.mp3 files. And I wanted to know the summation of the file sizes of all mp3 files under my MP3 directory, which is structured as follows:

Where: MP3 is the root directory, A, B, C, C1 and C2 are directories and *.mp3 are the files I want to add.

MP3
->A
->a.mp3
->aa.mp3
->B
->b.mp3
->bb.mp3
->C
->C1
->c1.mp3
->cc1.mp3
->C2
->c2.mp3
... etc


Cheers,

Thanks!

In a terminal window:

cd /where/your/files/are

du -ch

will produce a grand total of the size of all files in the current and sub directories.
