Hello
I am Chilean and I use Google Translator
When I export the metadata in CSV (excel), the times do not export them well. I explain.
If an mp3 lasts 16 minutes 5 seconds, it exports it 16:05, correct;
but, if an mp3 lasts 49 minutes 5 seconds, it exports it as 49:05:00.
I have tried all Excel configurations in their time formats; but most advisable, is that Mp3tag, represents everything with values 00 hour: 00 minutes: 00 seconds to avoid problems.
**Can someone help me please?**

Perhaps it is not best to export \_LENGTH but the field %\_length\_seconds% and then format it in Excel
