I meant length, yes. VBR with or without XING: It is maybe mixed but no other player needs to recalculate the time for all songs. E.g. SongPlayer just plays the same library.
Good for them then.
SongPlayer must keep this data somewhere in a file maybe ?
If you don't want Jukebox to compute VBR length MP3, add XING tag to the offending files.
Here is the benefits:
1. Jukebox won't add a mysterious file named database.to.store.vbr.length to your HD
2. (or) Jukebox will not silently mess you VBR files with some XING tag
3. Length data will be stored at the ** right ** place: inside the media itself.
4. Jukebox second loading step will be simply skipped as there is no more XINGless VBR files
Ha. And last point: The length computed by Jukebox is ** very precise ** for VBR.
Maybe other players do 'simple' math dividing the whole filesize by the VBR to get a rough estimation of the length. Quicker but dirtier.
