Editing and exporting a mp3, small empy space on beginning!

[brunoja]

Hello!

When I edit a mp3 file and exports it, audacity creates a small empty space on the beginning of the track, I would like it to dont do that, what should I do?
Ive attached an example:

Here is the original mp3:

That is a limitation of the MP3 format - it does not exactly define the start of the audio. If you need to define the beginning of the audio exactly you need to use a different file format such as WAV, Ogg, Flac or AIFF.
