Description Hans-Olof Hansson 2006-01-24 22:43:48 UTC

Version:           3.4.2 (using KDE 3.4.2 Level "b" , SUSE 10.0)
Compiler:          Target: i586-suse-linux
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.13-15.7-default

I drag the MP3 folder from a audioCD and drop it onto the harddisc on my system. This takes very long time, as compared to using Grip. Is this as it should be? 

Then I open Amarok to play the songs and find the running time for each song is way of. There is however not a fixed scale between actual running time and shown time. Mostly running times is shown as 10s of minutes while the actual time should be something more normal, like 3 or three minutes. 

A screenshot could be sent on requset.

Extension .ogg appears to be correctly calculated.
Only .mp3 incorrect.

Comment 2 Hans-Olof Hansson 2006-01-28 00:21:49 UTC

This bugg probably should be moved to Amarok since .ogg files appears to be correctly calculated but that .mp3 files do not.

note that the running time mp3 tag is put in after the encoding finishes so if amarok calculates before encoding is done it will be wrong.

Ben,

Maybe this bugg is related to this, http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=120737 bugg also? The copy progress bar runs out of time long before the actual copy is completed. I have compared the progress of the status bar when copying of bothe mp3 and ogg/vorbis folder. I can confirm that it is only when copy of the mp3 folder the progress time/status bar is incorrect.

It is caused by the variable bitrate, which is used by default IIRC.

I have drag 'n' droped a mp3 files from audio CD to my hard disk. After the ripping and mp3-converting has finished I opened it in Amarok.
However, the progress bar looks totally OK (although it's a vbr mp3).
