MP3 Playtime Calculator
Category: Utility - Windows 64
A friend of mine, who happens to be a professional DJ, asked if I could whip up a programme that does exactly what MP3 Playtime Calculator does. It sounded like a fun little challenge, so I gave it a go. He ended up so thrilled with the result—practically dancing around the room—that I thought, why not release it into the wild and let everyone else enjoy it too.
MP3 Playtime Calculator v1.1 is an intuitive and efficient utility designed to scan a selected folder for MP3 files and calculate their total playtime. Perfect for organising music libraries or estimating playlist lengths.

- SELECT button — to choose a folder (map/directory) containing MP3 files.
- QUIT button — to exit the program.
- INFO dropdown menu — located in the top-left corner, containing:
- About: Displays program information.

- Output File :
- After scanning, the program automatically creates (or appends to) a file named:
- MP3_TotalPlayingTime.txt
- This file is saved in the directory from which the program is run, and contains:
- [Folder Name] — [Number of MP3 files] — [Total Playtime: HH:MM:SS]
- Each scan adds a new line to the file, allowing you to keep a log of multiple folders.
The setup program installs all files into the folder 'MP3FILESEARCHER' located
in: C:\Program Files
Inside this folder you will find:
