This is a silly question perhaps. I have my soundfiles in a directory named Sounds Library, this contains many subdirectories, which contain the .wav files.
What command can I use to find out the disk space this directory is taking up, including all the files that are in the subdirectories?

Hi, I hope you appreciate this great one-liner I found for enhaced 'du' - it even knows how to sort kB, MB and GB sizes right!
ls -A | grep -v -e '^..$' |xargs -i du -ks {} |sort -rn |head -11 | awk '{print $2}' | xargs -i du -hs {}
Very nice, but only summarizes the biggest 11 files (or directories). To get more, modify the "-11" option to the "head" command or remove the head command altogether (to get everything).
