Hi
MP3Tag is a great product!
I have a question. Is there a way to get the total length of **selected** or **highlighted** tracks.
For instance: I add 3 albums to the edit screen and select the tracks that I want. In order to make sure that the length does not exceed a specific total length, I have to add the individual lengths manually. It would be nice to just click a button and have that total length displayed someplace. To really push my luck, is it possible to have an extra column for a Length running total? The running total can skip those tracks not selected.
Thanks in advance for any response and help.

You can see the length on the bottom of the mp3tag-window.

Hi poster
Thanks a lot!
It is exactly what I was looking for. All this time I have been doing the addition manually.
As a friend says: "When in doubt, read the book" 😃
