I'm using Xing-Audiocatalyst for ripping and am quite happy with Variable Bit Rate - Normal/High Quality encoding. Am running into a problem ripping one particular track. The album says that the track lasts 2:33 - AC believes that it is 5:04 long and unless I set synch-width at 10, it loses synchronisation and aborts the rip.

At synch-width 10, it grabs the full 5:04 of the track. First as a wav, later as as MP3. Immedeately after 2:33 there is a long period of silence; the last 1:30 is very noisy and loud. It sounds like data; not music.

Does anybody know how to extract the first 2:33 from either the wav or mp3 file?
