I'd suggest using Iwasa Kazmi's fix instead. i.e. in musicin.c
#if defined(__CYGWIN__) || defined(_MSC_VER)
original_file_fd = open(inPath,O_RDONLY|O_BINARY);
#else
original_file_fd = open(inPath,O_RDONLY);
#endif
(O_BINARY should perhaps be used in all cases anyway).

I think that's because unlike WAV etc., there is no length information
in the MP3 header. The whole MP3 (well, the headers of all the frames)
would have to be pre-scanned to give a time estimate.
