If you are on a track in the playlist, and you evaluate:
(emms-playlist-track-at (point))

Do you see an `info-playing-time' in the output association list?

Is this the same if you reset the cache (emms-cache-reset), re-load the
tracks?

I also assume that this happens with all different albums and tracks,
and not those specific files?

P.S. Please bottom-post.
