Mp3 issue.. song ends before the end of the song. I can skip past and its fine

Anyone ever had this issue?

I have some songs that are like ~5 minutes long, but they will end after a minute or two. If i skip past the exact second that it "ends", it plays the full 5 minutes. For example I have one that ends at 1:53, but if i hop to 1:54 it will play all the way to the 5:00 mark or wherever it should end


:confused:

Select song, get info (command i), you can see if end time is set improperly by some other user (or from where you copied the music).

oh wow, I never knew that was possible.. I'm at work now so I can't check the files I have at home, but that could definately be it

thanks for the info

Sounds more likely to be a corrupted file. I don't think skipping past an "end time" tag will play the rest of the file, I think it will just end (as though you positioned the cursor right at the end point).

hm, I think you're right.. I tried this at work by setting a file's end time then clicked after it and it just went to the next song

ok i found out how to fix them.. I downloaded a program called mp3val for windows and loaded it in my vmware'ed XP install and it fixed the files in about a half a second. they play flawlessly now..


Err.. ****, nevermind.. that didn't work. They play fine in VLC now, but not in Itunes. wtf?
