And, you're saying 1:15:55 is correct, yes?
Where do you see the 6 minutes indication exactly?
I suppose I would also check to see that in the output of exiftool that the
"Length" is appropriate for the Duration.
I see it in the playlist of smplayer, on the right edge column of the
playlist.
The length is indeed appropriate because it acutally does play for 1:15:55
as indicated on the bottom black bar of smplayer, on the right side
(corner).
and, I have actually listened to the whole thing for 1 hour and 15 minutes+.
Noteworthy: the progress block (which moves from left to right) on the
gui display
of smplayer moves from start to end in 6 minutes and 19 seconds, and then
moves back to beginning of line, but audio file continues to play for 1
hour and 15 minutes+.
Another useful piece of info is: auto replay is disabled (no looping),
and there are no other files in the playlist.
