Demo Program I did for a radio engineer

Windows natively supports duration for mp3 and wav since Windows 7 and many other audio types in 10. Just ask Windows:

[VB6, Vista+] A compact function to retrieve any property by name, locally formatted

Duration = GetPropertyDisplayString("C:\path\to\file.mp3", "System.Media.Duration")

Returns it already formatted in hh:mm:ss

I was aware of that function, but from what I understand it puts quite a burden on the cpu and should only be use minimally.
I don't know if that is true or not, but it was trivial to grab and then computation was easy; divide by 60 then mod by 60. don't think there are many songs or commercials on the radio that exceed that.
