SongPlayer must keep this data somewhere in a file maybe ?
Doesn't look like this. I see no files that SongPlayer or AmigaAMP or other players create for that purpose.

If you don't want Jukebox to compute VBR length MP3, add XING tag to the offending files.
This is a huge effort and (as other players show) not necessary. What about a switch in Jukebox to disable that?

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
Other players to not do so as well.
Quote:
3. Length data will be stored at the ** right ** place: inside the media itself.
That is indeed a valid point but Jukebox does not store anything in the played files, either. So when I throw the library to it next time, all lengths are calculated again.
Quote:
4. Jukebox second loading step will be simply skipped as there is no more XINGless VBR files
see 3. does not seem to work so far.
Quote:
Ha. And last point: The length computed by Jukebox is ** very precise ** for VBR.
Maybe. But who wants to look at the length of the tracks all the time instead of simply listening to the music? If the track length is miscalculated by some seconds, who cares?
