For example.
Song “A” is 4 minutes long. When I play “A” through media player, it plays for 4 minutes. However, 2.34 minutes show on the duration in media player. When I burn the song, only 2.34 minutes burn.
I’ve tried veritas and roxio with the same results.
I’ve tried different music players, music match and get the same information on duration 2.34 but the song plays the full 4 minutes.
Running XP Pro.
Any ideas?

Weird. Have you edited these mp3s in any way whatsoever? i.e., using a piece of software to merge multiple files into one mp3?
I remember several years back I used a software called Ordix MPack to merge my Pink Floyd mp3s into the order they were on different CDs, so that instead of making a playlist, I had one mp3 i could listen to when I wanted to listen to a particular disk. Might sound stupid, but it was a good idea at the time. Anyway, the MP3 would play all the way through like you say, however, when I burned it to CD, only the first song made it on the CD.
Based on my experience, I’m guessing that your mp3s have been edited in some way or maybe they’re corrupted?
