Hi Romain,

Interesting idea. The information could be fetched on
demand as tracks are enqueued and cached in the library.
I have installed a partial implementation. The only tracks
that actually get length information are audio CD tracks,
but the foundation and display code is there now.

Yes, it would be a useful feature.

Isn't there any tool that can do all types?

Yeah. I guess we can decide if the extra overhead is
acceptable by default once it's implemented.
