I am trying to make a detailed list of my midi collection. And I would like to add the time elapsed of each midi (the time that plays). Is there a way of getting that value without hurting anybody (not even myself) in the process? :)

Is there a module that does that without having to know how to sum all the sound and silence periods?

I was first thinking that it was only a matter of translating the size of the file into seconds, but it is much more complex!

Thank you for always being here!

PS: Thank you for your answers :). I was first afraid of asking this without not having searched a lot. But I guess that there is no clean perl way of doing it (at least in a multiplatform way, just LINUX & Wine).-- Please, read the answers.

Googling I found that the elapsed time of a midi depends a lot on the program that reads it. I read an example of a midi with the elapsed time as a title that was measured by a program with the double of it's correct elapsed time.
