Imported mp3s have invalid length in PE15

Hello.

I open PE15, import an mp3 (2:22) and in Project Asserts it appears as 2:32 file. Close PE, open again. Import another mp3 (9:32) and in Project Asserts it appears as 8:19 file. The same on timeline. The second file just trimmed. In 3rd party players like Winamp and MPC-HC these two files are recognized and played normal.

The mp3s are telephone conversation records.

Please say, what should I do to work with these two mp3s in PE?

Here is the 1st mp3 Record011.mp3 - Google Drive

Load them up in Audacity and export to wave.

Then re-import, see how that goes.

No. But it's nice that it works.

I can promise you Adobe will not address it in future editions nor will they fix it.

It is not a bug. It is by design. The program is designed to work with standard video and audio formats.

An 8k MP3 is not a standard audio format.

It's sad. Always thought design must be documented. I 'll try to contact Adobe and write here if they answer.

Steve, and is WAV 8k standard audio? It works fine with PE.

It is not an assumption, kubinec.

The two WAVs imported in PE with correct time.
