Maybe have look at ...  
[XML Export by Kage](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/5619/1)

In general you can add %\_length\_seconds% per file and divide the sum by %\_total\_files%.

Try this export file (one line):  
$filename($getEnv('USERPROFILE')'\Desktop\Export.Time.Files.Avg.txt',UTF-8)'Total Time [s]: '%\_total\_time\_raw%', Total files: '%\_total\_files%', Average Duration [s]: '$div(%\_total\_time\_raw%,%\_total\_files%)

Output examples:  
Total Time [s]: 28, Total files: 4, Average Duration [s]: 7  
Total Time [s]: 344, Total files: 4, Average Duration [s]: 86  
Total Time [s]: 330, Total files: 2, Average Duration [s]: 165  
Total Time [s]: 507, Total files: 3, Average Duration [s]: 169  
Total Time [s]: 146, Total files: 29, Average Duration [s]: 5

What do these values tell us?
