Having, let's say, a dir called /mp3 full with say 10 .MP3 files, how do I get information on how long the tracks are each (meaning in minutes and seconds) and also a summary on the total length of these 10 files (also mins and secs).
How do I do that from the *console* ?
Hope there is a solution, do not want to run X11+XMMS for this small thing all the time.
Whoops, I also forgot to mention mp3info as the program to find out the info you wanted about your mp3 collection.
