Wrong time on songs

[NailJ]

Fixed!

Please let us know what worked so that others may benefit, thanks!

I sent the files to hiccup and he "removed the Xing header" and sent them back to me. I don't really know what that means, perhaps he can explain further

I got my album fixed, hiccup got some great new music (if you like americana/ singer-songwriter that is lol), Win-Win

I removed the Xing header.
In MP3Diags that option is not available by default, through configuration you'll need to move it from 'Invisible transformations' to 'Visible transformations first.

If I understand correctly, while these headers are necessary for VBR files, they may be absent/removed for CBR files.
(if anyone has different information or experiences, please chip-in)

@NailJ: Be sure to keep your original files stored for a while in case the performed lobotomy has some negative effects. (I don't expect so, but you never know)

Thanks Hiccup and NailJ for the info!  Did you happen to try the Foobar "Fix VBR Header" tool suggested by frankz?

[hiccup]

I take it that the Foobar "Fix VBR Header" tool wasn't enough for this case?

I hadn't tried that, and I already deleted the original files so I can't try it now.
Perhaps NailJ can give that a try?

[NailJ]

Tried Foobar's 'Fix VBR Header' now (missed Frankz post for some reason, sorry...)
It didn't work, duration times are still off. It did change the numbers though, but not to the correct numbers (!?)
