Text Export time format

When I export a playlist from iTunes 8.2.1 using File > Library > Export Playlist, the time column is in an odd format. Can anyone explain how to convert the number iTunes provides into minutes and seconds?

20-inch Intel iMac, Mac OS X (10.5.8)

The time is quoted in seconds. Divide it by 60, and save the remainder. For example, if it says 307, the duration of the song is 5 mins, 7 sec.

Another confusing thing in that format is the "size," which is quoted in bytes. You can divide it by 1024 to get kB, and by 1024 again to get MB, which will be a more familiar number.
