itunes-style info

So I would like to add info to the status bar at the bottom of my columns UI that includes the total number of tracks in a playlist and the total time of all those track combined.

Im really bad at writing scripts, so i was wondering if anyone either already has something like this, or if they have seen it somehwere else, I think i saw a question about it before in another post, but i can't seem to find it anymore.  Any thoughts?

Perfect! thanks.  I am now using this string: 

%cwb_activelist%:  $cwb_splitnum(%cwb_playinglist_count%) songs  ¤  duration: $cwb_wdhms(%cwb_activelist_duration%) 

I would like to be able to center it, don't know if that is possible though, not really that important either. 

Anyway, thanks for the help!

edit:  I actually got it centered! it was as easy as putting the string between a couple $tab()  All set now, thanks again!

If you are using this string in the ColumnUI Status Bar (Preferences -> Display -> ColumnsUI -> Title Formatting -> Status Bar), and this is your only code in there, just put

$tab()

in front of everything.  It works kinda like this -

Left Justified  $tab()    Center    $tab()    Right Justified

or

Left Justified  $tab()  Right Justified
