Output filtering with sed

Question

I need filter this mpc output:

Burzum - Budstikken
[playing] #6/7   5:03/10:10 (49%)
volume: 60%   repeat: off   random: on    single: off   consume: offere

To this:

5:03

Using sed.

What if duration is less than 60 secs or greater than 59:59? — F. Hauri - Give Up GitHub, Mar 06 '13 at 21:43
mpc tag here is not a minimalist command line interface to MPD. You should remove this tag — Adam, Feb 26 '15 at 17:10

Try doing this :

mpc (...) | 
sed -nr '/^\[playing/s@.* ([0-9]+:[0-9]+)/.*@\1@p'
