Difference in file size question

Just finished recording guitars on a 7 song project, and guitars are the first audio.

All songs are in the same folder, all audio files are correctly placed in their respective song folders.

On the ATA drive it shows the total size of the project as being 631.7 megs.

I thought "Cool, I'll make a 3rd backup to CD." However when I drag the master folder to Toast for a Data backup it shows the total size as 1.3 gigs.

What's a happenin'!

It's a bug in the Panther OS. It just doesn't calculate folder sizes correctly on occasions.

Well, I'd rather have the folder sizes showing the wrong size than have a dozen invisible folders taking up 60gigs and not knowing where the hell they are. Happened to me once and took me forever to figure out how to find them.

Thanks, Jim...

After I posted, I deleted a "safety" duplicate (slightly different name) of one of the songs project folders, and then the master folder size was correctly calculated...still kinda weird!
