Allow users to show the number of minutes (like what Scratch 2.0 has) in the length of sounds.

For those who has supported this suggestion, here's some better mock-up:

Also, the format will change based on language. So, for example, if the language you select is Japanese, it will say 14分 3.16秒, not 14 m 3.16 s.
(sorry, I used the translate extension to find out the word “minutes” and “seconds” in another language because I couldn't understand them.)

The thing is that this isn't needed for any reason. Also, every block in Scratch that has an input revolves around seconds, not minutes. It would make it harder to do the following.

This would make it harder to make projects with songs that contain subtitles in them.

OK, closing as many people has not supported them. No worries, you may use this converter to show the number of minutes: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/620233797/
…or use my project in Snap! to drag and drop sounds then seeing it: https://snap.berkeley.edu/project?user=ten_6044&project=Sound%20length%20detector

Hope it helps!
