Default Lengths of songs inaccurate

I haven't checked the length of all the songs in FFR yet, but I timed some of them with a stopwatch, and this is what I came up with.
Name of Song - Time Game Says - Time I measured
Legend of Zelda 1:01-1:34
Mega Man II Dr. Wily theme 1 1:01-1:22
Revo 2:46-2:40
Dazzling Destiny 1:57-1:51
The Essential 3:28-2:15
Famouz :49-:49

Now, some of these are understandable, but some of them, like LoZ, Mega Man II, and The Essential are really far off. Now I feel like I wasted a lot of time a long time ago whoring Mega Man II when I thought it was getting me points really fast when it was actually quite slow.

The lies! The deception! Oh by the gods no!

Some of the file was probably chopped off or timed inaccurately from the original recording.

Good find, though can we do anything to change it?

I guess if you have the free time, check all the others as well.

LoZ is easy... 1:01 is the length of LoZ. the Yoshi Bonus Round is the other 30 seconds.

Mega Man... i have no idea. The Essential, i have no idea. Revo and DD... i have a decent idea.

Don't know for sure on Revo, but my guess is that it is the same reason as DD. And since I added DD, I know why it is off. I took the length of the mp3 for DD. Kit didn't step the last 6 seconds of blank space that is at the end of the mp3. therefore, the file ends 6 seconds short of the length listed. I'm guessing Revo is the same way.

there are other files that i've added that are going to be similar to this. seeing as how i'm not going to take a stopwatch and measure the length of each song's notechart. i'm going to do it the simple way and take the length of the mp3.


EDIT: the essential, i'm guessing, is the same thing. someone didn't step the entire song... but whoever added the length to the song used the mp3 as their measuring stick.
