CLick on File -> Preferences.

Expand Display -> Default User Interface. Under status bar add %playback_time_remaining% to whichever position you want.

This is how mine looks:

Foobar

The status bar code:

%codec% | %bitrate% kbps | %samplerate% Hz | %channels% | %playback_time% / [-%playback_time_remaining% / %length%]

I tried to use %playback_time% in Display → Default User Interface → Playlist View → Custom columns: it displays '?' sign in playlist. %playback_time_remaining% and %played_length% are not working as well. Foobar 1.1.7. Ideas? – dma_k – 2011-07-12T15:06:13.153

@dma_k if the length of the song is not available, both will not work. Try for few other songs – Sathyajith Bhat – 2011-07-12T16:11:30.663

It turned out to be %_length% macro. Damn, it's difficult to find right solution in Google, as each reference lead to different solution, which depends on something I can't understand (FooBar version? module? moon phase?) – dma_k – 2011-08-08T00:23:19.050

The dynamic values (as playback time) are not available in columns, nor in tray icon notification balloon. – None – 2011-09-13T15:33:50.500
