I recently converted a 12-minute screen recording of my game into an MP3 file, but it downloaded as a crazy 58:58 long MP3! The file acts really strange when I try to skip through it to find my favorite soundtrack parts. Instead of playing different segments, it just loops the same part. After about 12 minutes, it skips to the end even though it pretends to play normally. I've tried listening through Media Player and Spotify, and it's the same issue both times. Is my file corrupted? Can I fix this, or will I need to find another way to get the soundtrack?

It sounds like the MP3 you created is full of junk data, which could be why it’s acting so weird. I recommend using ffmpeg to extract the audio from your original video file. It’s a powerful tool that should fix your problem pretty easily! Just download it and run the command to get a clean MP3.
If you’re not comfortable with command-line tools like ffmpeg, you could try Avidemux instead. It has a user-friendly interface and is great for quickly cutting or ripping audio from video files. Just use the 'Audio' option in the menu and select 'Save Audio' to get the audio you need without messing with re-encoding. If you want it as MP3, just change the output settings accordingly.
mkay thanks a lot 🙂 is ffmpeg an app or a website, and where can i find it?
