Microsoft DirectX 9.0 SDK Update (April 2005) – Audio Video Playback

Problems in the AudioVideoPlayback namespace of managed DirectX9

You can use DirectX' AudioVideoPlayback to determine an audio file's length.
Just load the MP3 file into an 'Audio' object and check its 'Duration'
property.  There are many alternative ways to determine an audio file's
length, depending on which library you want to use.
