I opened a 10-second MP3 in Audacity that has a 0.05-second silent gap at the beginning and the end of the clip. I removed this silent space and exported it again as MP3. The problem is that when I play it on loop in Firefox and Chrome, I can still hear a quick gap when it repeats. So I open my trimmed file in Audacity, and the gap is back! It looks like it gets added during the export process.

Start of the file: enter image description here

End of the file: enter image description here

I found this answer that links to best programs to trim silence. The problem is that I can already trim the silence myself manually, what I need is an MP3 exporter that doesn't add it back!

  • If you are on Windows I would try [MP3DirectCut](https://mpesch3.de/) – Robert Jan 14 '22 at 02:58
  • Are you cutting at a zero-crossing? idk Audacity really, but if you don't cut at zero you'll get a click. Some apps will try to prevent that for you. If you have DC offset in the signal, that could confuse any similar algorithm. [Your zoom is far too low to be able to see any non-zero or offset visually] – Tetsujin Jan 14 '22 at 19:00
