How about adding a <cftry> and check for the file size?
Something like this:
<!--- upload file --->
<cftry>
<cffile
action="upload"
accept="audio/mpeg,video/x-ms-wmv,video/mpeg,video/quicktime,video/av i,audio/midi"
filefield="UploadedFile"
destination="#LibraryDirectory#\"
nameconflict="overwrite">
<!--- Check for file size --->
<cfif CFFILE.FileSize GT 2097152>
<!--- Throw an error --->
<cfthrow
type="SizeError"
message="The file is too large. It cannot be more than
2MB.">
</cfif>
<!--- Catch the error --->
<cfcatch type="SizeError">
<!--- Show error message --->
<cfabort showerror="#CFCATCH.Message#">
</cfcatch>
</cftry>
