Destination array was not long anough when reading mp3 file with NAudio - naudio

Question

I've got this code:
static void Main(string[] args)
{
try
{
Mp3FileReader reader = new Mp3FileReader(#"C:\testAudio.mp3");
long count = reader.Length;
if (count <= int.MaxValue)
{
byte[] info = new byte[count];
reader.Read(info, 0, (int)count);
Console.WriteLine("Succesfull read");
}
else
Console.WriteLine("Could not read");
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
Console.WriteLine(ex);
}
}
that prints out the following exception message:
System.ArgumentException: Destination array was not long enough. Check destIndex and length, and the array's lower bounds.

I've downloaded NAudio code and I've been debugging it but I can't find the cause of the error, although, as you can see on the stack trace is in NAudio-Source\NAudio\FileFormats\Mp3\Mp3FrameDecompressor.cs:line 50
Am I doing something wrong? By the way, it only happens with a few mp3 files, others are read just fine. I could send one conflicted file if needed.

Don't try to read the entire file in one hit. Instead, read around one seconds worth at a time and keep going until Read returns 0.
