Alright I feel like I should make a post to clarify all this mess because apparently there's too much misunderstanding and assumption going on here.
Here's a screenshot of the ending of original version and edit version in FL Studio:
The above one is the original and the next one is edited. As you can see, the silence of two version turns out to be of a same length. Yes, the original silence is not 2.5 seconds long, but 4.6 seconds too. So Shiirn's assumption that the silence was artificially injected turns out to be invalid here, as that's not the case at all.
Secondly, what's stretched then? It's the noise itself. The only section that's different between both versions is the weird noise at the end, which is weird enough in the original track, where it sounds like the composer forgot to highlight the later parts before rendering the song so it got cut out of nowhere. In the edited version, the noise was looped and flipped by the mapper, let's say, in order to make this over 5 mins. But to me, if I didn't know which is the original and were to guess which is, I'd definitely pick the extended one, as it definitely sounds more natural than the other one that makes it sound like your music player crashes at the end. As I said above, if an edit mp3 turns out to be even better than its original version, why not?
As for Deif's post:
Edit: Made a new mp3. Now the last spinner starts at 04:51:264 (1) - and ends at - 05:01:930 -, snapped to where the sound starts and ends.

EDIT: okay they actually injected literal silence between the end of the track and the weirdo noise which is a big no no
First of all, the 'silence' between the end of track and the noise was NOT artificially stretched.Loctav wrote:
there is a silent 5 second break that should have a breaktime inserted, the original version ends on 4:57 after the noise while the song starts at 00:02, which means the song ends after 4 minutes and 55 seconds. The original silence is 2,5 seconds long. In this map, it magically increased to 4,6 seconds, so I assume you stretched the silence part.

As for Deif's post:
Indeed. One possible solution of this is to fade in and out the ending better, so the head and the tail of the spinner is snapped to the start and the end of the noise respectively. I'll see if I can try to make a mp3 to solve this.Deif wrote:
On top of that, even if we're working with this edited mp3, the spinner at 04:51:430 (1) - ends in absolutely no sound. The sound ends at 05:01:430 - , but as the song starts at 00:01:435 - it'd be less than 5 min drain time anyway.
