Summary0021272: Some tracks Length are incorrectly read
DescriptionSome tracks Length are incorrectly read

Actual Track length is 04:36 (44.1 / 140 kbps) but MM reads it as 20:06 (44.1 / 32 kbps)

As a result of that, Seek Bar appears not working correctly even Wave Bar shows track is really 04:36.

Sample Track is on FTP

It is not MM issue. The file is VBR MP3 but seriously corrupted - VBR (Xing) header is missing, so MM even does not know, it is VBR. Without this header it is not easily possible to compute file length correctly. Players only guess, I tried several players and each shows different file length and all wrong.
Even some specialized tools for fixing MP3 do not work, tried mp3val and no luck. I have found one, which worked - specialized Vbrfix tool.
As our soft is not designed to fix seriously corrupted files, I am closing this.
