Having been happy when found a possibility to get the duration of a mp3-file by just reading out TMediaPlayer::Length I finally found that this value is not always correct, at least not for the vbr-files my mp3-recorder creates. In fact there was a huge difference for a file which real duration was about 7h and TMediaPlayer::Length holds a value about 4h. Is there another possibility/library to get the exact duration of such kind of mp3-files? (The motivation was to prefix the files being created with the date/time when recording started. Unfortunately the files have a time-stamp, when recording ended. So I had to calculate the starting-time by substractiing the duration from the end-of-record. Unfortunately the recorder only records in this variable-bitrate-format.) Thanks a lot, MR
