Apple Music displaying double the actual song length for newly uploaded tracks

I've just uploaded a 14-track album to Apple Music on my Macbook. In the listing for the album, all the display times are shown as being twice as long as the songs actually are (e.g., a song with an actual duration of 2:15 is shown as being 4:30).


The tracks are playing normally and skip to the next song appropriately (e.g., when the above song hits the 2:15 mark it advances to the next track). But in both the track listing and the play progress bar, the song duration is shown as doubled.


I have tried several solutions, including deleting and re-uploading the album, but nothing seems to work. Is there a solution to this? Thanks in advance.

was having this issue too until I found this reddit comment under a post, apparently some Xing tags are corrupt(?) and running this command fixed it in my case

ffmpeg -i input.mp3 -c:a copy -write_xing 0 output.mp3
