ztrust,
answer to question is that it depends on where in the library(s) you are. For example when you are in the video library in the Movies section or the TVShows episodes level you will see the videos name in ListItem.Label and the duration in Listitem.Label2. When you are in the addons section Listitem.Label will show the name of the addon and Listitem.Label2 will show a description of what the addon does. And sometime you will have nothing in the Listitem.Label2 info label, for example when you are in the root level of the video library.
Is it written down anywhere, Nope to the best of my knowledge this has not been documented anywhere in the wiki (post a link back here if you find that this is incorrect).
Also as a further gotcha on this, plugins can set the value of Listitem.Label2, so you could potentially have just about anything in this info label (I discovered this a few years back when a user pointed out that my skin was not displaying some important info that their favourite plugin provided).

That line of code will display
Label - Label2.
If you're confused about the " - " part in the code,
see here the label formatting wiki page.
The Info Labels are not predetermined for a certain view, but a certain (type of) item.
For example, if you navigate to Music Albums, the label is the name of the album and label 2 is the artist of that certain album. (And the code you posted will display Album - Artist)
If you go to Songs, label 2 is the duration of the song. (Your code will display Song - Duration)
So the label (the main label) and the second label depend on XBMC in a view.
But if you create your own list and you put your own items inside the <content> tags (see the first link in sualfred's post), then you can control what the labels are. If you change to Confluence skin and go to Skin Settings, you will see that the menu looks like this:
General
Settings
Home Window
Options
[...]
The second line of the button is in fact a label2. You can see that if you open the SkinSettings.xml in Confluence's folder, and search for the list with id="9000".
thank you this was helpfull especially after 12 hours of reading myself dumb
