When loading an external mp3, you can retrieve the total length of it, adn the current position etc right?

good…

If I want to get the total length of it, it gives me the result in miliseconds, which is fair enough.

What’s the formula to convert miliseconds into “real” time?

like mm:ss…?

Maybe I just don’t see the simplicity in it… ☹

like if I have 12.523 milieseconds, how do go about making it show as minutes:seconds ?

I’m tired…
