Try this (done under v5.2.0.0).

X = {"12:30", "05:15", "12:00"};

Y = Map[StringCases[#, min__ ~~ ":" ~~ sec__ -> ToExpression@{min, sec}] &, X];

Flatten[Y, 1]

The following is an example of a list that contains times in min:sec,

{12.33, 120:03, 343:59, 1:00}

where each element is of String type.

Is there a "smart" way to convert lists such as this into Integer type 
for both minutes and seconds?

--Thanks,
