basically Warren's got it correct - mp3/SWA compression operates in a 'blockwise' fashion on the sound data, so when decompressed, the last block is a partial & so gets padded with blank (silence). I know using less compression makes the gapping less prominent, but that may not be a great solution in this case. Untried: It might be that if you fully specify the #startTime, #endTime, #loopStartTime, & #loopEndTime, these might probably acted upon AFTER the blocks are decompressed & could therefore be used as a way of ignoring the padding ... hth -Buzz [To remove yourself from this list, or to change to digest mode, go to http://www.penworks.com/lingo-l.cgi To post messages to the list, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Problems, email [EMAIL PROTECTED]).
