Steve, how about a breakdown as to what's in that huge Library folder of yours?

I'm pretty sure the Library folder is so big due to the many music apps I have and their large sample libraries, which typically get installed in the "Library" hierarchy. I have Logic Studio and all the Apple "Jam Packs", Native Instruments "Kontakt" and "Battery" (with a couple of add-on drum libraries).

I broke it down some... /Library/Audio 56 GB /Library/Application Support 41 GB /Library/Application Support/Garageband 22 GB /Library/Application Support/DVD Studio Pro 8.4 GB /Library/Application Support/Logic 4.7 GB /Library/Printers 3 GB

Thanks for this info. Personally, I don't use Garageband, so I've never added to its libraries. I'll try to remember to take a look at my relevant size numbers this weekend to perform a comparison of what the default starting condition's size is like.

I don't use Garageband much per se, but its resources (loops, samples) can be used in Logic, which is where I would be more likely to utilize them.

I have a utility called "Disk Inventory X" which will break down by folder and sort by size to see at a glance where the space hogs are. Free. http://www.derlien.com/
