I recently crafted a loop and tried to save it as an mp3, but when I re-open the file, a blank space was inserted. How do I avoid this blank space?

Thanks in advance,
Steve

I think that's a part of MP3 format.

The silence inserted at the beginning of an encoded MP3 file is inherent to the encoding process. There are some silent frames written at the beginning of every encoded file. Unfortunately, as MPEG is a frame-based format, and these frames are inserted by the codec itself, there is no way to edit or remove them. I am not currently aware of an MPEG audio codec that avoids this behavior.

The only real solution is: If you need something to loop seamlessly, don't use MP3...
