Bad .wav duration

Hello!

First of all thank you guys for developing this amazing tool! I use it a lot and I come across one case where librosa somehow fails to determine correct file duration therefore fails to load it. I have a .wav file that is stereo track in 44100 kHZ, 32-bit float. In Audacity this file has 3 mins and 6.87 seconds length. When I do “librosa.get_duration(…” I get: 189.567

So that is off from original length by ~ 3 seconds. Now when I do “librosa.load(…” on that particular file I get an error:

File "/home/simanas/.virtualenvs/PhonicMind/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/librosa/core/audio.py", line 150, in load
    y = y.reshape((-1, n_channels)).T
ValueError: cannot reshape array of size 16394065 into shape (2)

But if I add duration=187 to librosa.load function then it all works good.

Here is the file that is giving this error: https://files.fm/u/j44v5jgc

Appreciate your help!

Ok thank you guys for your help. Really appreciate it!

I am not doing anything fancy, just simple get_duration function on file path, which gives me wrong duration. Yes I believe that this must be something related to that specific file, because I only got this issue with it, so it perfectly falls in that %5 category where things don’t appear to be working as expected.

Thank you for your help, this gave me a lot of info on how to address this. I feel like there is no need to keep this issue open, so I am closing it. 😃
