Re: Wav to Mp3 leads to an mp3 file that has a longer duration

Ok thanks Mikko

Maybe I'm doing it wrong but here is my initial request

the number of samples is not really important to me. What does is that the
compression algorithm does not add data at the beginning of the file, which
it does now

Do you have any idea how I can achieve that ?
