Really? Cool. I'll ask fedora taglib maintainer to update taglib to
never svn snapshot and I'll retest the files then.

Try this file:
http://www.lugradio.org/r/http://www.c-nic.org/mirrors/audio.lugradio.org/season5/ep9/lugradio-s05e09-140108-high.mp3

Try it in Amarok because some other players are smarter and calculate
themselves the correct audio length, or if you have ipod nano, I dont'
know how it behaves on other mp3 players because I own only ipod nano
(now I use rockbox and I have ogg support :) )
