For what it's worth, I wrote a patch to display the album length and 
number of tracks in the Play Album window and it looked alright to me. 
The extra infomation could be in a smaller font or paler colour to make it 
less obtrusive.

I understand why you don't want people filling up your nice clean 
interface with junk, and if someone was asking to add, say, the file 
format or bitrate I'd agree that it should stay out.  However, I do think 
that the running time would be of general interest.
