I'm sure there is a good way to fix that, just few players implement
it. I'm sure the length can be found in some header or tag or
something. Foobar2k manages to show it correctly, so should others.
[mplayer] reports the length of MP3 files wrong,
too - it reports
one of my own recordings at 5m08s but the song only runs 2m22s ...
Is it a variable-rate MP3, by any chance? In which case, it's probably
dividing the length of the song in bytes by the bitrate of the first
frame; no really good way to fix that, other than by recording the
real song length (or mean bitrate) somewhere else.
