Wrong track running lengths on N-Gage

Applications, Troubleshooting N-Gage
Q. I have a Nokia N-Gage and am experimenting with using it as an MP3 player. The trouble is, tracks are shown with the wrong running lengths. Is there anything I can do to get these shown correctly? I've tried both MP3 and AAC file formats.

A. No, this is (yet another) long standing idiosyncrasy of the N-Gage's hardware MP3 player. All songs are shown as longer than they actually are, as you can verify by timing one of them or comparing it to the same track played on a different system. At least the bug is benign and doesn't actually affect the sound of the music!
