I need that indication to individual files like in Windows (customizable) across ALL or at least whichever folder that contains audio and video files. If this is NOT possible, at least I should be able to do that individually/manually.

This is what you can have in Kubuntu 19.04 which uses Dolphin as the default file manager:
Dolphin in Kubuntu 19.04 automatically showing the duration

This feature already exists in a standard Ubuntu installation which includes totem which is installed by default.
Right click on a music or video file in File Manager ('Files' application or 'Nautilus') select the Properties tab → Audio (or in the case of video, 'Audio/Video') and it gives you the duration in minutes and seconds.
