Song Previewer and Playlist Info

Hi,

I am a relatively new user of Foobar2000, so still finding my way around it.  I have the standard set up i.e not using any custom skins or interfaces. 

I would like to know if someone knows if it is possible to preview any songs.  I would like a component/plugin where a specific set time is used to preview a song. e.g. play only the first 45 seconds of each track on a playlist. 

Also, I have several playlists.  I would like to know if there is a way to get info about the playlists. i.e. total number of tracks on the playlist, length of playlist etc. 

Many thanks

Download foo_seek.dll - https://hydrogenaud.io/index.php/topic,88654.0.html
Unzip that file to Foobar2000 components folder.
Run Foobar2000.exe
Go to main Foobar2000 window:
1)Playback - Seek control - Loop length - default
2)Playback - Seek control - Preview length - default

Go to File - Preferences - Advanced
3)Advanced - Playback - Seek - Preview - Playback position - 0
4)Preview length - 45000 (45 sec = 45000 ms)
5)Reset next track to playback position preview - is checked
6)Apply - ok

Main Foobar2000 window
7)Playback - Seek control - Preview

Thank you so much for this.  I appreciate it very much.  You wouldn't happen to know if there is a way to play a certain percentage (e.g. 40%) of tracks on a playlist?
