On what system is this? Is this cygwin (wondering about the .exe)?

Well that message is normal. Is the reported length correct (3:55)?

JusePort should finish when the pipe finishes. That should be when everythi=
ng written by mpg123 has been read -- even after mpg123 ended.
There should be nothing missing.
First, please share the info what system / software environment (including =
mpg123 version) your are working with, then we can start wondering what spe=
cial property is the problem.
What you also can try is to check the file size created by

mpg123 -s tune.mp3 > tune.raw

The size in bytes, divided by channel count, sample rate and 2 (for 16 bit =
samples) should give you the length in seconds...
If that is correct, you problem may lie within your shell or OS... hm, but =
I don't want to speculate too much now.
