This is really weird. If I rip music using Music Match
Jukebox,successfully,when I import the tracks to Windows Media Player they
show up as only a few seconds in length instead of 3,4 or 5 minutes.They play
OK but the slider gets to the end in a few seconds and stays there.If I look
at the properties of the track file the track duration has been changed to
10,13 or so seconds.I know the duration was correct after ripping .I'm using
Windows media player 10.00.00.3802 on XP home.Has anyone any idea why this is
happening?

That should indicate that your ripping tool is writing incorrect Duration
values into the file's headers...

I found out what's happening but I still don't know why. The track times are
changing after volume levelling in Music Match ,if I do that before importing
to Windows Media player.If I do it after it doesn't happen.
