A questing about a sentence Hello All, Could you please tell me whether this phrase is correct or not? "The audio file is only of four minutes length and seems to be broken". The message I am trying to convey here is something like this: "This audio record is much shorter than I expected it to be". Thank you!

Slight correction is needed. "The audio file is only four minutes long and seems to be broken". From your description this is what you are trying to say "The audio file seems to be broken as it is only four minutes long yet should be..... minutes" or "The audio file seems to be broken as it is only four minutes long yet should be..... minutes in length"
