Bug Description
TESTCASE:
1) Add files from comments #4 and #21 in the collection
2) Search for these files (search terms: "Greensleeves" and "Beowulf")
3) Check track length
Result: track length is 'Undefined'
Expected Result: track lengths are 0:49 and 0:56
--- Original Report ---
Binary package hint: rhythmbox
After scanning my music folder with rhythmbox, about half of the mp3 tracks in the library are listed as having a length and bitrate of "Unknown". The files play without any problem, but while they are playing, the slider does not move.
I've played and indexed these same files in Songbird, WinAmp, iTunes, VLC and WMP, none of which had any related issues, so this is more likely to be a rhythmbox bug than file corruption.
1.) OS release: Ubuntu 8.10
2.) rhythmbox version: 0.11.6svn200810
3.) Playable, uncorrupted MP3 files should be displayed with their correct length
4.) A large portion (about half) of MP3 files do not have a length listed.
If needed, I can provide a small, self-made MP3 file that exhibits this problem.

Thank you for your bug report. Could you add a mp3 example to the bug? Could you also run "dpkg -l | grep gst" and add the log the bug to show codecs are installed?
