What do you mean? It gets faster to account for the change in length or is a part of it truncated?

Just did a quick test. I dropped a WAV on the timeline, rendered to mp3 (160kbits) and then dropped the new MP3 back on the timeline. It appears that the mp3 has 27ms of lead time added to it, shifting the whole song forward by 27ms. The actual length of the song is the same, but the mp3 clip is 27ms longer to account for the added time at the beginning.

Seems strange. I have no explaination.

The Fraunhofer mp3 codec does place a minute amount of silence at the beginning of the file. This is inherent in the codec. The other mp3 codecs that we tested also have this issue.
