Find the Length of a Song with Pygame

I'm building an Radio Automation Program, but I can't figure out how to have a timer countdown the number of seconds left in the song. I'm currently using Pygame and don't really want to load another toolkit just for this. So far I can make a timer count up using this:

import pygame

#setup music
track = "Music/Track02.wav"
pygame.mixer.music.load(track)
pygame.mixer.music.play()
print("Playing Music")
while(pygame.mixer.music.get_busy()):
    print "\r"+str(pygame.mixer.music.get_pos()),

But I have no idea how to get the total length of the song and countdown without having played the song already.

The mutagen.mp3 can be used to find the length of music.

Firstly: pip install mutagen

-> İmport:

from pygame import *
from mutagen.mp3 import MP3

-> Use:

mixer.music.load('example.mp3')
song = MP3('example.mp3')
songLength = song.info.length
