Dead time added to song files.

[TedskiTX]

When I record a song from streaming audio and export it as an mp3 file, the song may be,say 2min 30 sec in length. However, When I play it back in WMP it shows,and plays, a much longer song duration, like 3:50, with all the extra time added as silence at the end of the file. And, when burning a CD audio disc, the extra dead time is added, whether I burn with WMP or InCD (the app that came pre-loaded with my HP). Is this some kind of glitch in how Audacity converts to mp3; is it something I'm doing wrong; anyone else have this problem?

Thanks,

Ted

Make sure that you are using "Export" and not "Export Selected".

For making an Audio CD you should Export as WAV and not MP3.
