1. What is the Playlist Hours Calculator?

The Playlist Hours Calculator converts total seconds of audio/video content into hours, which is useful for content creators, DJs, and media planners to estimate total playback time.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the simple formula:

Where:

• \( Total\ Seconds \) — Sum of all individual track durations in seconds
• \( 3600 \) — Number of seconds in one hour (60 seconds × 60 minutes)

Explanation: The calculation divides the total duration in seconds by the number of seconds in an hour to convert to hours.

3. Importance of Playlist Time Calculation

Details: Knowing total playlist hours helps in planning content schedules, estimating storage requirements, and ensuring compliance with time-limited broadcasting slots.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the sum of all track durations in seconds. The value must be positive (greater than 0).
