Summary: Wrong duration of mp3 (encoded with 3.98 V3) in Audition 1.5

Initial Comment:
I converted some audiotrack of length 3:31.933 or 9346260 samples (stereo, 44100Hz) with lame 3.98 (beta 5, Aug 12 2007 and beta 6, Nov  1 2007). Foobar2000 and Winamp shows its length correctly, but Audition 1.5 determined it as 3:13.000 or 8511320 samples.

Encoding of pure silence of 9346260 samples results in the same effect.

lame 3.97 works correctly with Audition 1.5.

Perhaps I wasn't clear enough: I use foobar2000 only to open mp3s and
check their length. The files are just like LAME writes them.

bachtiar,

when using foobar2000, which tool writes ID3v2 tags, LAME or foobar?

Does foobar add a TLEN tag, which seems to be important for Windows Media
Player?

Robert,

I also tried using -T ("force writing LAME tag") and got the same result
(wrong length).
For testing, I used a recent build of foobar2000, which I consider quite
well-behaved when it comes to handling MP3s.

Dear nobobdy,

if you disable the LAME/Xing tag frame via '-t', then any stupid program
like Audacity will tell you the wrong duration. This is not a bug of LAME,
it's just that those programs do not scan the entire mp3 file to determine
the correct length, but look for the information stored in the LAME/Xing
tag. Windows Media Player is a different beast, looking at ID3v2 tags
only.

Ciao Robert

For the sake of completness, my entire command line was

lame -t -S -V 5 test.wav test.mp3

(Note the "-t"!)

I confirm incorrect track length behaviour with 3.97 compiled on Cygwin.
The problem appears (at least) with -V 4, -V 5, -V 6, but not when using
defaults (implicit) options.

If mp3 in opened in foobar2000, the track length typically displays ~30
minutes instead of 5.

Does Audition use the lame_enc.dll or the lame.exe?

Forget to mention: I observed this effect with "-V 3 --vbr-new" and "-V 3"
options. "-V 2" works ok.
