Hi Rich, I have faced this exact same issue, mainly on the Centos Appliance, not so much on Debian, and this is something has popped up a few times in the group. I found it to be an issue with the mpg encoder used by Rivendell on the appliance. Under Debian, I do not have this issue.
I have changed my httpd/apache time out settings, and this helped. However, the issue is also to do with ID tags embedded into the mp3 file that wreaks havoc when importing via dropboxes. I do not have this issue when manually importing via RDLibrary or RDimport. Robert Jeffares has recently suggested to me that eyeD3 helps. It's a little bit to install, but once it is, for whatever reason, it fixes the length issue. Here's what I did. Install python $ sudo yum install python When installed, run $ sudo cpan at the prompt, type "install setuptools" and just hit enter at all the prompts until completed. Then type "exit" You'll also need "argparse", at the prompt type $ easy_install argparse then cd /usr/local/src $ wget http://eyed3.nicfit.net/releases/eyeD3-0.7.10.tar.gz then $ tar xzf eyeD3-X.Y.Z-final.tgz $ cd eyeD3-X.Y.Z-final $ python setup.py build $ export PYTHONPATH=`pwd`/build/lib $ export PATH=${PATH}:`pwd`/bin You can now type eyeD3 --remove-all /path/to/file.mp3 Hope this helps.
