The OP is asking on behalf of a client who has some .mp2 files he would
like to know the duration and/or time to end of.
The "client" is just a friend in not-very-good-health, particularly with
his sight, who is recording series' of radio programmes using some sort
of desktop computer interface, the whole thing being switched on and off
by timers programmed into the PC.
There are some complications to do with the way the interface comes up
and goes down, which he has to cope with, and everything recorded has
the same generic name, with suffixes, I assume.
He is an ex-broadcast engineer, and the countdown timing has something
to do with being able to identify the shows and also to identify edit
points to remove leading and trailing audio.
Everything so far is based on his one phone call. At least, with the
help here, we have established that a normal .mp2 file should show
countdown and other timers in Media player and VLC. As soon as I have
time I'll drive over, see him and bring back a copy of one of the files
to play with here.
