Subject: Length sometimes incorrect
I have a (home-made) VBR MP3 file for which the reported duration is twice what it ought to be. mplayer agrees with MP3::Info, using libmad, but sox, which also uses libmad, gets the length correct. I'm not sure what information you need to fix this bug (or blame it on someone else) but I'll be happy to help, as I use MP3::Info to report times of files on my web site, and I'd love it always to be correct!

Can you post the file in question? Also, consider trying Audio::Scan instead.

I looked into it. The problem for me is that Audio::Scan isn't in Debian or Ubuntu; is there any reason why MP3::Info shouldn't get the right answer?

dh-make-perl ? MP3::Info is old, and easily breakable code. Which is why I'm hesitant to mess with it.

So it should be deprecated and I should file a WNPP for Audio::Scan?

Seems like a reasonable thing to do. Audio::Scan is going to be replacing MP3::Info in SqueezeCenter.
