This is what you can have in Kubuntu 19.04 which uses Dolphin as the default file manager:

Dolphin in Kubuntu 19.04 automatically showing the duration

And this is how it looks in Ubuntu 18.04 running Dolphin:

---

To get Dolphin to show the duration of media files, you need to right click in the header row (containing Name, Size, Modified, etc) and then choose duration as shown in the image below:

You may also need to enable baloo, which is a file indexer used by KDE Plasma. To do so, run balooctl enable from a terminal.

And if you don't want to see the preview pane on the right-hand of the file manager, use F11 to hide/show it.

This feature already exists in a standard Ubuntu installation which includes totem which is installed by default.

Right click on a music or video file in File Manager ('Files' application or 'Nautilus') select the Properties tab → Audio (or in the case of video, 'Audio/Video') and it gives you the duration in minutes and seconds.
