Default Windows Media Player .mp2 files time readout

I wonder whether "Classic Media Player" or something else would show
this, but I can't instantly find any .mp2 files here to test with..


VLC will show a countdown at the right end of the progress bar. Normally
it just shows the duration, but if you click that field it turns into a
countdown timer.


But does it show that timer when a mpeg1 Layer 2 file is being played?

I have now found some .mp2 files on

http://www.mpgedit.org/mpgedit/testd....html#ISO_m1l2

but they are only 1 or 2 seconds long, and I haven't yet managed to be
fast enough on the mouse to cycle through the VLC or Media Player timer
options. Setting loop playing up on WMP appears to show a countdown
timer, but it's hard to be certain.

Interestingly, VLC shows the files as 1 second long, whereas Media
Player shows 2 seconds as the length.
Properties in VLC shows the file as mpeg Layer 1/2(mpega), but Windows
Explorer says they are .mp3 files under Properties.

I think I'll have to wait until he can pass me some of his files.
