If this is a VBR file (like suggested by Thomas), and you have used the
seek function (i.e. moved the slider to seek in time), then the error is
around the possible rounding effect.

A VBR file has a table of 100 positions that represent one hundredth of the
duration of the file.

Since the file duration is 35:05 = 2105 seconds, each percent is 21.05
seconds.  (35:05+21 = 35:26).

Players should interpolate this table when seeking, so if (song)position
41% is (file)position 1500 and (song)position 42% is (file)position 1600,
when asked for position 41.5% it should seek to 1550, not to 1500.

I don't know what Windows Media Player does in this regard...
