When loading a a WavPack file into Songbird it shows the incorrect track time. It shows the other tags, artist, etc, correctly. After playing the track for a few seconds, the track time updates to the correct time. And stays correct from then on.
Does anyone have an idea of why this is? I was thinking that maybe it's due to the Ape or ID3v1 tags. Reading some other posts on this board I'm wondering if it has to do with WavPack files having the metadata at the end of the file? Does anyone know why WavPack supports only ID3v1 and not ID3v2? Just curious... |

How would a player determine track length then? |
