The extra second of silence in mp3s are suddenly gone.

Question

Do you know what I mean? That added blank space that's added after encoding audio to mp3s? mp3s exported from audition used to have that. But now it's gone.

For most of us, that's unwatned. To me though, I have utilized that space as a "breathe/pause" for my voice overs (I export one mp3 per line)

And so, believe it or not, I miss that extra space. Did Audition "solve" that and it's now gone? Or is there something that I can do to bring it back?

I suspect that this went when Adobe changed the encoder from the Fraunhofer one they had to use, because it was the only one they could legally licence at the time (it was patent protected), to the present one, which is LAME. A lot of people think that the LAME encoder sounds better, so now it's not a legal issue any more, they changed it. As far as I'm aware, the extra time at the end of encoding was a funtion of the encoder itself, and if it's now gone, there's no way to get it back - because it wasn't there in the first place in LAME.
