I like to listen to whole albums when I work out. Currently, there is no easy way to find out the length of an entire album. It would be nice if the album pages could calculate the total length and display it on the web app as well as the mobile apps.

The album length is already present on the Roku Plex app when viewing an album. I don’t know why it isn’t on the mobile and web apps. I have wanted this for a while now too.

_bump_

Would love to see this as well. Especially with audiobooks that may have many hundred titles it is almost impossible to know the length. Should be an easy feature to implement but very helpful!

Bump this up. This is a client-side change so it really shouldn’t be hard at all.

+1 to this. Trivial change but with great QoL benefits.

This is a simple and overlooked addition. Please make it happen. Should be included in the web player and iOS as well.

+1 here – though I’m sure my school math teachers would be glad that I just added together the duration of 10 songs in my head, it’d be nice to let the UI do it for me. 🙂

Adding my voice to the void here. It’s been more than 3 years since this request was made and I’ve noticed it as a glaring omission for longer than that. Please implement this super-easy feature, Plex. It would mean so much to so many of us.

Album length/duration is listed on the album page in Plexamp.

Yeah that’s true but this thread was about the Plex web app, which still doesn’t display it. It’s also missing on the Plex desktop app
