NEW: Playlist Countdown v1.0

Back when we had record albums and cassette tapes every day of our lives, you could throw a glance at the player and get a pretty good idea of how much time was left on the side. Also, as a former radio DJ, I have a lingering professional anxiety about how long some sound thing is going to take to finish.

But when I play a playlist in the Music app I’m afraid my math skills are not speedy enough to calculate anything beyond “looks like it might be about half over I dunno”.

After years of having minor Quakes of Angst, I finally got around to making Playlist Countdown. It will countdown the time remaining in a playing playlist. If you need to know that. Like I know I frequently do.
