Question about MP3 encoding

Yo!
I just converted a WAV of my latest remix to MP3 but I’m noticing that when there’s 2 secs left of the track it switches to the next even though there’s 2 seconds of silence left!! Wtf!

The WAV has the silence and plays properly in iTunes but the same file converted to 320kbps MP3 just stops the instant the last kick dies, with no buffer for the next track… even though the timeline reads -0:02. Really annoying.

Thoughts?

Edit: while I’m here, is there any way to automate parameters with global LFOs in Live?

Check if the playlist you are playing it from in iTunes isn’t set to “gapless playback”. Should solve the problem, if not it might be a problem with the encoding, depends on the program that you used to convert it.
