My guess is that the MP3 is "variable bit rate" ("VBR").
Several audio players on Windows (including Windows Media Player the last time I looked) report the length of VBR MP3s incorrectly. This is a bug in the player and it has been around for many years.

More information about MP3 encoder settings here: https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/mp3 ... tions.html

Are we trying to rescue a surveillance event?

We're not touching up the vocals in a song are we?

What is the show?
