Sorry, but I still have some MP3 files that appear as near zero seconds
length, while their length is actually in the minutes. Note that I've
readded the file to my collection, and it still shows incorrectly.

This is the banner rhythmbox shows on start-up:
jkohen@void:~$ rhythmbox
INFO ( 3499: 0) Initializing GStreamer Core Library version 0.6.4
INFO ( 3499: 0) CPU features: (00000762) MMX SSE 3DNOW MMXEXT
INFO ( 3499: 0) registry: loaded global_registry in 0,250409 seconds
~          (/var/lib/gstreamer/0.6/registry.xml)

And this is the -correct- output given by mp3info when run on one of
those files:
jkohen@void:~$ mp3info -x /storage/audio/xxxxxx.mp3


File: /storage/audio/xxxxxx.mp3
Title:   xxxxxx                         Track: 1

With mp3info -x -r m:

Other programs, like easytag, also miscalculate both the length and the
rate. Rhythmbox says it's "very low" quality.
