Hi all,

I'm new to Mac OS X and love Automator.

I've had a look around but couldn't find anything that made sense to me and hence this post.

I'm trying to create individual Automator services/applications for the following tasks and can't seem to get my head around how to do it or what Automator Actions to use:

-Set selected text as lyrics for selected/current iTunes song

-Set selected image as album artwork for selected/current iTunes song(s) (or even have the service ask the user to specify songs to assign the artwork to)

-Take audio/video capture using the in-built mic/iSight for specified amount of time or until the user chooses to, and save the file

-Get the COMBINED size of the selected files and/or folders (if there is any other way to do this within the OS ie without a new service and using some variant of "cmd I", please mention it)

Would appreciate any help on this.

Thanks.
