I am WAY late on this one, but I wonder if it has to do with how the
mp3 was encoded, or the *.ogg file was? Maybe one with VBR and the
other, not? I have made a lot of books into vbr mp3 files and winamp
never reports the correct time.

Well like I said folks, I've tried this already and both files end at exactly the same time. I believe Winamp is just incorrectly stating the elapsed time. When you go to the jump to time dialogue box and type in a time that is close to the end of the file but not quite there, both files land in the same spot, but the times are listed differently. I believe it has something to do with the way Winamp plays Ogg files.
This isn't a huge deal, but this is more of a curiocity. I'd like for someone else other than me to try this and see what kind of results you get. I know we have folks here running all kinds of different versions, some of y'all are still back at the 2.x series of Winamp, and I'd like to see what kind of results you get. Again, the idea here is to produce a copy of a file in both mp3, and Ogg vorbis format, and see if they both last exactly the same time. My 2 files are **exactly** identical, right down to the last bit, but the times are different.
That is the only difference I can see.

Do you have a stopwatch?
Perhaps an independent time check of both files using a device separate from the computer can determine if there really is any time difference.
If there really is a difference in the time duration of both files, then this discussion could be taken to a new and enchanting level--just in time for Halloween!

Subject: total time is different for Ogg files
Hi folks
Ok, curious one for you folks, especially for you Ogg Vorbis fans. I converted an mp3 to an Ogg vorbis file using Goldwave's batch processing feature.
Here's where the curiocity comes into play. I'm lead to believe that for
some reason, JAWS 7.0 and maybe even earlier versions is incorrectly giving
the time on Ogg files. My original file lasts 11 minutes 1 second, whereas
the Ogg version lasts 13 minutes 34 seconds. I've listened to both files
and they both begin and end with no noticable differences.
Anybody else noticing this odd little quirk?
If you have Goldwave version 5, try it for yourself, or try using another
program to convert an mp3 to an ogg file and see what happens. Note! The
discussion of how to convert mp3 files to Ogg with other programs other
than Winamp should be sent to the pc-audio list or another list other than
this one.
I'd like to see what you guys have to say on this one. I just find it
really weird that the JAWS scripts, if that's even what it is or the
wa4jfw.dll file would incorrectly report the time so differently for
different file types. I've noticed this for AAC files as well. really weird.
