mp3 files get doubled in apple music

So I have an mp3 file and when I open it with apple music its length is double what it's supposed to be. When I open it through other applications the length is normal(such as QuickTime player). How do I fix this?

Apple Music is associated with mp3 files but will not play it when double clicked in Finder I have a text to speech mp3 file in Finder. The file associated with Apple Music by default. I double click the file and Apple Music opens and just sits there being unhelpful. I right-click on the file and select QuickTime Player and it plays perfectly. What should I do?

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.

Why Apple Music does not show album cover although it is clearly inside the MP3 file? I have some albums, where the Apple Music app does not show album covers although they are embedded in the audio files. I even have a ridiculous example (attached screenshot) where the album cover is shown in one place and is not shown in another. Does anyone know how can I fix this? Thank you!
