Downloading YouTube Audio - Issues with Time Display


Recommended Posts

This is weird.

Not sure how many of you download audio from YouTube.  I don't often, but I do every once in a while.

Anyway, today I downloaded some audio as Wav files.  All of these tracks - 10 in total - individually clock in at between 2 and 5 minutes.

But, when I play them with Apple Music, the times being displayed for all ten tracks are 6 hours, 12 minutes, and 50 seconds (!). All ten of them. They don't actually play that long, but that is how the time is displayed. 

I placed all 10 tracks in a playlist and tried to burn it to a disc, and I received a message saying that they would not fit on a single CD.  

I imported a track into Audacity just to see if it looked weird, but the file ends at 4:53.

As a workaround, I suppose I could load all 10 tracks into Audacity and export them, but I wonder if there is a quick fix.

Anyone experience anything like this?  @Stonewall15 ?

How do you download?

You remove "ube" from "tube" in the url, hit "return," and then it takes you to a screen to download.  I selected wav as the output format.  It allows you to download up to three tracks in an hour. 

Everything downloads properly.  Each file looks, sounds, and acts like any other wav file, but the time for each reads 6 hours, 12 minutes, and 50 seconds, regardless of length.  I just listened to all 10 tracks in a playlist, and they collectively clock in at 28 minutes. 

Weird.
