Problem

I have a bunch of mp3 files with various length. I want to cut it down to 50%-60% length. Says, from 1 minute down to 30 seconds. It should be trivial using ffmpeg. But, I don't know how to determine the original length of it as a base for processing using ffmpeg. Anyone have an idea?

Low Risk

With ffmpeg there's no way I know to get the length as a variable you can use on a script. But mp3info does.
