Hi Caitlyn,

One way to do this would be to open the "Info" page for the item by pressing 
Command+I and navigating down to the "More Info" section where you should find 
an item called "Duration" which seems to give the length in 
hours:minutes:seconds. I tried this on several MP3 and M4A files and was able 
to get the duration. 

HTH,
Bryan
