Progress indicator regression with long playlists

Description

With long playlists (I have dozens of hours of podcasts), the playlist indicator no longer displays the correct playlist information

Previous behavior

It would display "Track 28/102 • Progress: 1h2min / 132h45min" correctly.

Actual behavior

I'm seeing "Track: 28/102 • Progress 1h2min / 1h45min" where the total play-time shown is much less than than the pending playlist time. I've confirmed that it's not showing the current track's total time (1hr2min59sec). I suspect that it's trying to display something like "5d1h45min" but that the "5d" portion isn't showing up. Alternatively, something is just calculating the total playlist run-time wrong.

Expected behavior

Either display the same thing it used to (in hours+minutes without trying to pull out the days; my preferred option), or include the number of days in the display.

Steps to reproduce

  1. open a Location containing lots of podcasts (~3GB here)
  2. start playing
  3. notice the "Progress"

I've attached a screenshot of the issue underlined in red
