Either check the MP3 songlength you have in your local file vs the length on our database/web. Or, see if the MP3 filesize matches that of our database/web. If you have tags in the MP3, its probably 100% ok. If not, you have a broken file. To verify such broken files we have provided MD5 checksums for all MP3 files. Use your favourite local tool to verify that against our sum available for each song entry on the database/web. We even provided a MD5 text file for all 3 chip recordings for you to download. It is structured the same way as HVSC’S “songlengths.txt” file. If your sum is a match, you got the 100% file. If it still breaks off, chances are 100% that HVSC’s songlength entry is wrong. There is no known bug in the SOASC= songlengths as they are 100% based on HVSC’s songlengths entries.
