[mythtv] MythMusic ComputeSize and database usage

Dear Mythdevers,

Looking into Mythmusic and the playlist size calculation code in playlist.cpp
it appears it is relying on an unpopulated field "length" when calculating the
play time. For mp3s I'm calculating the length using mp3info and thought I
might update the database as I went. i.e
---
get rec
if rec.length = 0
  calc size and update rec.length
fi

size_in_sec += rec.length
---
Is their any issues with doing this or I have not ticked something that would
update the length field ?

David
