First of all, if you don't have a player for wav files I think you should get one, and here's why. I find it helpful to see how long the track (or wave file) is supposed to last and at what exact second the music stops before the track (or wave file) runs its length. I have a few (musicmatch, siren jukebox) but if I didn't have those, windows media player would suffice.

I ripped as a wave file the FIRST track of one of my problem discs. I ripped it two times; once with microstudio and once with Siren Jukebox. They were both 25,696 megabytes. I played the song on Siren Jukebox and looked at the seconds. The file plays for 2:29 or 2 minutes, 29 seconds. The last note decays at 2 minutes 28 seconds!

I imported it to kpro using the "lyrics" Si nos dejan, the title of the song.( I studied spanish in Provo as well-went to Colombia.) The song clipped. I can't say exactly how many seconds were clipped because there is no counter in kpro(not asking for one) but it was close to the end so I'm guessing three or four seconds.

This was the first track Admittedly the space after music was very short. That's why it clips when Microstudio plays it. I think that the last tracks clip in your work because last tracks, I suppose as a rule, don't need extra space added to them as they play.

I need to test further and try to measure the clipping points of Microstudio and KPRO.
