Getting Jaikoz To Collect The Time Duration Of All Listed Audio Files

[Cog]

Hi guys,

I understand that this feature can be achieved if there are enough people willing to chip into the cost of development.

So if anyone out there, like me, sees a real benefit from being able to gather all the time durations of a list of songs you may now be in luck.

I have tired to achieve this in iTunes but it is not that simple. If you copy and past all the iTunes time data with a song list to Excel you will find Excel sees the time format incorrectly and sees minutes as hours and seconds as minutes for some reason, even if you format the column correctly before pasting.

So, If anyone is interested in this development, reply here so we can see how many people we can get interested first.

Any takers?

I guess audio metadata is read dynamically and is probably not part of the database or it would be a lot easier. I don’t know what OS you use but take a look at shntools.

Try this on linux (assuming no spaces in file name):

shntool len -tc  *.flac | awk  '{ print "\\""$9"\\"""\\,"$1 }'

…just want it in this app so it does all the things I need in one go.

Anyone else?

Isn’t this something you want to see in a music player? Duration of playlists / selections / entire collection? Especially playlists can only be calculated in the player.
