Mr. Sketchy
Recently I have noticed a new trend in internet music. I dl a set from soulseek and when I go to play it in winamp the time is all over the place.

Example 1: An 80 min set/cd will read 400 min in winamp. Then the time will very quickly go to 70 min, then 45 min, then 67 min. It sounds fine in winamp but I can't transfer to cd cause my burner reads it as 400 min and therefore too big for the cd....

Example 2: A track or set will just plain count wrong. 5:45 5:44 5:45 5:46 5:43 and so on. It sounds fine in winamp but I think it will not perform right after it is burned because of this funky time thing.


Can anyone help? Is there anyway to fix these time inconsistencies?

thanks,

jeff

Try importing the set into any .wav editing program like Cool Edit/Adobe Audition or Soundforge, then re-save the mp3.

Here is a link to the demo version of Adobe Audition

is this for all sets of urs or just a few??

ive noticed this happen mostly for VBR encoded mp3s personally..

u could just use an encoding software that will re encode it to a consistant bitrate

yeah stop using winamp..

try vlc player. its typically used as a video player, but that thing plays everything. so if it does the same thing, you know its either the file you downloaded or your soundcard.
