Silence after each track

Question

When importing audio tracks to Premiere Pro, each track gets almost 1 minute of silence added at the end. If I play the track in an music player, the silence doesn't exist. It only appears in Premiere Pro. How can I fix this?

Jan 2025 - Same problem happened to me. My MP3 is 4:50 long. I imported it into Premiere and now it's 5:23 with the difference being silence added to the end of the track. The same thing happened to the other 16 tracks I imported. Yet another odd quirk of Premiere.

I bulk converted my MP3s to WAV and the problem didn't happen with my WAV files.

Command I used to bulk convert MP3 to WAV using ffmpeg

for %f in ("C:\path\to\mp3\folder\*.mp3") do ffmpeg -i "%f" -c:a pcm_s16le -ar 44100 -map_metadata 0 "C:\path\to\output\folder\%~nf.wav"

What is the audio file format?  If it's not already uncompressed WAV or AIF, try converting it to that outside of Premiere Pro and then import it.
