Hi Thad,
To import "length of time" you would need to use the quantity with units datatype, which unfortunately is not available yet:

Now that we have the new ISRC property (International Standard Recording Code) ...

Can someone propose a new property to capture the "length of sound recording' with a property ?  (if another property doesn't exist, from my cursory inspection, it does not exist)

See ISRC FAQ snippet below from https://www.usisrc.org/faqs/assignment.html

Q. When do changes in a recording merit a new ISRC?

A new ISRC must be issued when:

  • A sound recording is re-mixed or edited.
  • If a new fade changes the length of a track by more than 10 seconds.
  • Edits that change the length of a sound recording by more than 10 seconds (playing time is measured from the first recorded modulation to the last recorded modulation).
  • A previously released sound recording is partially used as part of a compilation.
  • A 'full restoration' of a historical recording is performed by re-mastering, re-pitching, re-equalizing, de-noising or de-clicking a sound recording to meet contemporary quality standards. The registrant of the recording has discretion when making the determination between full re-mastering (sound restoration) and simple re-mastering (reproduction without sound restoration).
