I have an mp3 file (a chant/prayer), which smplayer says has

However, the progress indicator shows it will play way up to
termination at 1:15:30.
Is there something in the file that can be tweaked to make smplayer
display the correct time length of the file?
Is it only that file? (and possibly a *few* others)
It could be a badly edited file, where someone has badly concatenated
short files into a long one, or shortened a long one. I've certainly
seen that sort of thing.
e.g. I can record from a video camera to a DVD, then use mplayer to
dumpstream the recording to a single vob mpeg file. Quite often, the
running time indicator only shows the first clip length, rather than the
entire video (like for a 2 hour recording being split into several VOB
files, that are supposed to get played back one after another,
seamlessly). Apart from being annoying, it can make it nearly
impossible to skip past the first part of the video, to further in.
Well, I suspect that is it may consist of several mp3 files that were
improperly concatenated. I will inform the web site, where it was
made available for download, about this.
Strange though, that smplayer does indeed play all of it, in spite
of displaying it's duration to be 6+ minutes.
