Title: Problem with the Duration of a Track
Post by: Dirk_ on December 22, 2023, 04:16:10 am

Hello,

I use MC27 and have a classical track in DSD256 from Gustav Mahler. The file is 4.894.565 KB and the Duration of the track should be 29:35. Media Center shows the correct Duration in the Audio-List-Views - but not in the status-bar at the top of the window.

While playing the song always ends after 4:14.

Any ideas?

When I have come across this problem, I usually repeat the download and. if this does not help, complain to the provider.  Sometimes, I have been able to convert the file to PCM/FLAC but that is not a real solution.

I hope others may have more direct help but I suspect it is faulty data in the file header.

Out of curiosity, what track/recording is this?  I wonder if I've had the issue with this same track.

It's the album "Gustav Mahler,  Das Lied von der Erde" from Channel Classic with Ivan Fischer and his Budapester, Track 6 "Abschied" downloade from NativeDSD.

I think this was fixed in v29 or 30.
You can install a trial of v31 to test it.

I've had problems with some NativeDSD downloads but they've fixed them in all cases (but1).

Same issue with MC31.

Another big file (3,8 GB) in DSD256 works fine in MC27.

So it must be a problem with that specific track or with the file header as kr4 mentioned. Workarround for me is to play it in DSD64.
