-Brading Software Message Board +--Forum: Mp3/Tag Studio Support and Bug Reports +---Topic: Length differs from actual play time started by Rebel1 Posted by: Rebel1 on Aug. 23 2010,05:27 Most times, the length indicated by MP3TS agrees within 1/2 second with the actual play time, as show on Winamp and my wave editor, Cool Edit. On this particular song, MP3TS says the length is 3:26, when it's only 3:20. I downloaded the mp3 song from amazon.com, VBR. According to Winamp, the original downloaded song has these characteristics: Payload size: 6160991 bytes Header found at: 166794 bytes Encoder delay: 576, Zero Padding: 1836 Length: 202 seconds MPEG-1 layer 3 243kbit(ABR), 7764 frames 44100Hz Joint Stereo After editing (normalizing volume and removing excess silence from beginning and end), I saved it as an MP3, 192 Kbps. MP3TS reports: Length: 3m 26s Size: 4965640 Frames: 7932 Sample freq: 44100 Hz Bitrate 192 kbps Joint Stereo MPEG Version: 1, Layer number 3 I tried the trick of repairing the VBR on the downloaded file before editing it and resaving it. It did NOT solve the problem. Thanks for your help. end |
