Getting total duration of the files in a playist.

I have a video playlist in both xspf and m3u format (same files and number of files). Made with the windows version of VLC. I was wondering is there a convenient way of determining the total run time of ALL files in the playlist( the sum of the individual durations) other than just adding up the individual file's duration.

Thanks in Advance

If you open your playlist in VLC 2.1+, then there is the total time information in left pane in VLC playlist.
View > Playlist (Ctrl+L): Playlist [00:00:00]
Otherwise I do not know what you mean.

That is EXACTLY what I meant. I never noticed it there. I have on additional question. Is that number Hours:Minutes:Second or Minutes:Seconds:Fraction of Seconds.

The playlist that I am developing reads {5:26;11} in that number. I purposely picked the clips that are shortest duration I find it amazing that the total of all those clips is over 5 hours.
