Is it possible to get the starting time of each track in a playlist?  Via an expression perhaps?  So for example:

Code: [Select]

Seq  Name         Duration  *Start time*
1    Track One    2:30      0:00
2    Track Two    3:00      2:30
3    Track Three  2:45      5:30

...and so on.  Thanks in advance for any help.

You can, but the technique is very limited.  a) it works correctly only once every 5 seconds, and b) moving the mouse over the contents of the playlist will destroy the sequence until you refresh the view with F5, limited by (a) above.

Add an expression column with the value:

if(compare(counter(), =, 1), formatduration(0)save([duration,0],dur), formatduration(load(dur))save(math([duration,0] + load(dur)), dur))

Thanks for that.  It is quite odd seeing the times creep up as I mouse over them but it gets the job done!

Indeed, it is peculiar.

Change the expression to this:

   if(compare(CustomData(#), =, 1), formatduration(0)save([duration,0],dur), formatduration(load(dur))save(math([duration,0] + load(dur)), dur))

and it will eliminate the need to wait 5 seconds for the refresh, so item (a) goes away.  Also, mousing out of the file list view area will cause it to refresh properly, or F5 as before.
