What's the Problem?

When working with multiple media files (e.g. music or videos), the only details displayed for selected files are their path, attributes and total size.
This leaves out a lot of potentially useful information, like their total length, audio bitrate, framerate and resolution (for videos), etc.

Solution/Idea

The default Windows Explorer displays all of the details mentioned above in a separate Details tab
image

Files does have the same Details tab. However, it only shows up for single files.

With only one file selected, the Details tab shows up and all data is displayed

image
Details tab is nowhere to be seen with multiple files selected

Alternatives

As mentioned previously, the default Windows Explorer does all of the above.

I have a basic version of this working. Going to clean it up a bit and make it act a bit more like the Windows Explorer implementation.

@BrandonLogandi is this at least along the lines of what you were looking for?
