I would like to use an action to rename the directories for each cd to include the total times of All the tracks.
IE.
Artist/year-CD Name-Tracks-CD total time/01-track.mp3
```
/02-track.mp3
```
I know i can copy it from the bottom of the window.

I think you have to run an export like this one first:
[/t/17771/1](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/17771/1)
then you re-import the value into a file in that folder and rename the folder.
Or you create a format string for the Convert\>Tag-Tag function to rename the folder where you enter the value that you read at the bottom in the status bar.
