Media Encoder repeats audio after export

When exporting a list of MP3 files from ME, it sometimes glitches out random Audios.  Which ones' are totally random and have nothing in common that would make a difference.

 

At a random time of the file, it plays again from the beginning. This happens in the same file without skipping to the actual beginning.

Example: File is 4:06. At 3:08, it just plays from the start again and stops when the file hits 4:06. The actual file reached 3:08 once and played the first 1:02 again.

The source file plays just fine.

 

My process is importing all the files into the queue\trimming the end of some files\setting final file location\applying preset export settings, which include normalization and limiter in the editing category.

Can you share the file? I would like to look into the issue. I can send you a private message in this forum with instructions.

Converting mp3s upfront may be a good idea indeed.

Also asking the audio experts for mp3 recommendations, just in case.

If using Premiere Pro, convert the mp3 files to wav before importing into Premiere Pro.

Premiere Pro can sometimes behave wonky with mp3 files.

Extra Info:

This has been going on for a few months now.

I have a file that does this consistently

I tried clearing the cache.

I drag them from a folder in the Windows file explorer to the AME queue windows onto where it says "Drop here to add as separate sources".

How exactly do you add all the files to AME?
