Unable to edit mp3 tracks in excess of 1hr 42min

[Guest Grant]

I have tried several ways to edit MP3 files of 2hours+ in length. Each different attempt to edit in the region more than 1hr 42min, initiates the start of the track, altho just playing in normal mode, the track plays correctly. It seems to make little differenc the size of the file only the lengthSince i am trying to edit lectures into separate tracks this make the remainder of the track uneditable. The only work around, is to copy the second half of the track to a new file and edit. This defeats the purpose and is cumbersome and time consuming. As i have purchased Wavepad masters along with other burning software, after trialing the software, this limitation seems

Try resetting audio processing keys in "options" menu. First play option is 'play file automatically when opened'. Unchecking this or all options allows editing in full length of track - all becomes editable. After it frees up editable track these options can be rechecked if/ as necessary??

I have exactly the same problem - with both .wav and .mp3 files.

 

Whenever the length of the input file is larger than 1h 42m then placing the cursor beyond 1h 42m and then pressing play causes the beginning of the file to be played even though the cursor moves through the location specified. This makes it impossible, for example, to home-in on the end of the recoding to remove the last few minutes of unrequired encode.

 

All checkboxes are unchecked in options.

 

Any suggestions welcome.
