   I think Paul was suggesting that you might overcome this quirk (which is   
   presumably an artefact of either the streaming station you use, or your   
   means of storing its stream) by splicing together all the files into   
   one, then breaking them at the five-seconds-earlier point(s). There are,   
   indeed, mp3-handling utilities that will join and separate MP3 files   
   without further corruption (i. e. decoding and then recoding), by   
   operating only at block boundaries (which are usually short enough not   
   to be noticeable). I vaguely remember one such being called something   
   like mp3 workshop; when I looked yesterday something of that name was   
   available from several of the usual suspects, but I couldn't find the   
   original website.
