Subject: best practices

I'm working my way through the Pickaxe book and I have a question  
regarding syntax and best practices.

Example from page 64

     # 1 Book example
     songs.append(Song.new(title, name, mins.to_i * 60 + secs.to_i))


    # 2 Alternate version.
     duration = mins.to_i * 60 + secs.to_i
     songs.append(Song.new(title, name, duration))


Version 1 is very concise but harder to read. Ruby is very intuitive  
but I find the second example easier to read.  What is everyone else  
doing?
