[mythtv-users] MythMusic taking FOREVER!!!!!!

I looked at that code and was wondering about that. IIRC it's accurate to
take the file length less the size of the ID3 headers and calculate the time
using the bitrate. Also i think there is an ID3v2 tag for song length,
although i may be confusing that one with asf headers.

Heh, true, but it's still reading in the entire file for mp3s to determine
the
song length, and it doesn't need to be doing so.  Makes it slow, especially
over a network.
