What information does Spotlight have?

My impression was that not all durations are wrong in the Finder. But if they are, they’re equally wrong in Spotlight.

Yup, Spotlight is equally wrong. Tells me a 192.2-second song is 578 seconds.

Problem is, how do I fix this? :-)

No idea. I just observed that but don’t really care as iTunes handles my files just fine.

Why not suggest a bug report?

As I have said before, it goes without saying that the bugs I discuss here have been reported to Apple.

The ISO values are also reported wrongly by Spotlight for images with EXIF information. Applications report the value correctly, it’s the importer that’s broken.
