For what it's worth, I had the same problem with a few hour+ long DJ 
mixes and an hour long interview with an artist as part of a deluxe 
album (all MP3, around 85MB so not uber quality).

512MB just wasn't enough memory allocated to the VM for it to cope with 
these it seems. It'd get stuck for ages and eventually bad_alloc. I 
increased the VM size in VirtualBox to allow 4GB and it worked fine. 
Watching top while it was doing it indicated streaming_extractor_music 
getting up to around 2-2.5GB resident memory at peak for these files.
