Hi Florian,

can you write two placeholders for length in minutes: %\_length\_minutes% and %\_total\_time\_minutes%?

Like length in seconds:  
%\_length\_seconds% Length (in seconds)  
%\_total\_time\_raw% Total playling time in seconds

It will be very useful for my exports.

Please reply to me, thanks.

Nope, I won't add those. You can calculate this on the fly using Mp3tag's scripting functions.

$div(%length%,60000):$sub($div(%length%,1000),$mul($div(%length%,60000),60))

The above code will show the time in format (m:ss).  
For example length is: 452026 (1/1000 seconds)  
The result will be: 7:32 (minutes:seconds)
