Nope, those would have been easy fixes.  I've attatched an example of one of 
those viewed in Easytag.  The results are about the same in Amarok.  This is 
a VBR file with a bit rate of ~224, which should be way shorter than 16:33 
mins and which, when played in Amarok, is way shorter.  The file is confused 
internally, as far as I can see, not in the tag.

The eastern seaboard at my feet.

I'm too scared and good-looking, I cried.
Go on and give it a try,
Why prolong the agony, all men must die.
