Well adding "xingmux" to the gstreamer pipeline as described above seems to fix the track length bug in Karmic. However, it does not fix the file size problem. Should I report this as a seperate bug?

[Bug 35112] Re: MP3 track times are incorrect
Unfortunately this problem is very much still alive I did NOT have this problem with Jaunty. I've recently done a clean install of Karmic and two problems occur: 1. The track lengths are reported as way too long, i.e a 4/5 min track is reported as 30-40 mins or so and.. 2. the file size of the ripped tracks are significicantly larger than before using the same pipeline settings. e.g a track that was ripped as 5MB before is now over 7MB It's only after removing Rhythmbox and reinstalling several times that I managed to get it to play at all.

Re: [Bug 35112] Re: MP3 track times are incorrect
This problem can be solved by adding "xingmux" to the gstreamer pipeline. For example, when I changed the setting for "CD Quality, MP3 (mp3 type)" from audio/x-raw-int,rate=44100,channels=2 ! lame name=enc mode=0 vbr- quality=0 ! id3v2mux to audio/x-raw-int,rate=44100,channels=2 ! lame name=enc mode=0 vbr- quality=0 ! xingmux ! id3v2mux then track times get encoded perfectly. Seems like all the other metadata remains intact. Any reason xingmux shouldn't be the default setting?

Honestly, it looks like this bug has lived forever because it's assigned to the wrong component.

Re: [Bug 35112] Re: MP3 track times are incorrect
It looks like the "vbrfix" program available through Synaptic fixes this issue - that is, after processing an MP3 file with vbrfix, the track time is correctly reported. >From the description in synaptic: Unfortunately, the problem is that many MP3 MP3 decoders estimate the time of a MP3 file based on the first bitrate they find and the filesize. This means that the "prediction" used by such decoders is wildly wrong with VBR encoded files and, as a result, you can get fairly random times. [...] A VBR null frame is placed at the beginning of the file to tell the MP3 player information about the song length and indexing through the song. The problem arises because some poor encoders don't produce this null frame or do so incorrectly and this is what Vbrfix attempts to fix. So, this is actually 2 or 3 different issues that could be independently addressed: a) fixing the encoder to correctly produce that null frame b) enhancing the mp3 library that rhythmbox relies upon to be more robust somehow. c) provide an option to vbrfix files that seem broken from within Rhythmbox, to repair older rips?

Due mp3 support can not be officially supported (I guess), this really IS kind of a showstopper bug. Ripping only CBR mp3s as a workaround is not a good solution.

[Bug 35112] Re: MP3 track times are incorrect
Can confirm this in Gutsy. Seems to happen with VBR settings. In Gutsy (for me) there's also the problem, that pipelines including "xingmux" will not appear to be selected in sound-juicer, though are listed in gstreamer pipelines. However, instead auf xingmux I tried ffmux_mpeg (ffmpeg packages) it works better, but still quite often totally wrong lenght information in totem, rhythmbox (especially) and nautilus. Without ffmux_mpeg or xingmux (which does not work at all) results are even worse. Personally I don't need mp3 support, but at least when hardy gets released I will recommend ubuntu to more non-technical friends and family. Some of them need correct VBR mp3s. I think mp3 with CBR is not an option. ;-) But the VBRs make problems with many apps, for example with serpentine, when burning an audio cd. If you have many 3-4 min songs, which are displayed as 12 or 15 min songs, you can not measure how much space on the cd will be used. PS: I noticed with "checkmp3" that nautilus displays the VBR rate also wrong, it shows only the lowest rate used (VBR_LOW) though it must be VBR_AVERAGE. -- MP3 track times are incorrect https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/35112 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
