lack of memory

My macbook has a 75 gb capacity, 27 of which is taken up by music, and a little bit more that is taken up by microsoft office. There are no pictures, no games, nothing else. However for whatever reason my computer is claiming that i have almost 0 mb of space left. i literally have to delete a few songs if i want to save a file. Does this seem right? does anyone know what could be taking up this space? or at least how i could get a list or something that could tell me what is taking up how much space? thanks

Some Ideas

One option would be to use Finder. Open Finder and Select View > as List, and Command+J (Show View Options). Select the last button labeled, Calculate All Sizes. Finder will then list all the space taken up by the various apps, files and folders.

Whatsize is a good freeware utility that can help you out here as well. Find it at:

However, my favorite is Disk Inventory X

hope this helps
