I just noticed that this one seems to be fixed. I was in build mode and this track started to play, so I expected silence for 3 minutes after that, but it directly continued with the next track

Hi, I'm reporting an audio issue in the Eco Lifestyle EP, I was extracting the in-game Eco Lifestyle Build & Buy music soundtrack. I found out that there's an unnecessary 3-4 minute silence of the music. When I'm in-game during Build and Buy Mode that particular music plays, when it finishes the music, there's a long silence after that's over it plays the next music.

This is the particular music that I was talking about, I had to cut the unnecessary long silence in the audio file in Audacity.

Here's what I found when the audio file is opened in Audacity, I uploaded the screenshot of the issue. As you can see there's a long silent line in the audio file that's unnecessary and I hope that the developers are able to cut that line out of the audio file in the data. I don't know if this is fixable, but I'm going to report this issue to the developers anyway. I think this audio problem also happens in MacOS and consoles too, correct me if I'm wrong.

@SqueamishNerdIt's a data issue in the audio file. Apparently, that Eco Lifestyle music has a 3-4 minutes silence in the sequence, I extracted the music file and I saw that the audio developers didn't properly cut the music. I don't really know why the developer didn't see this oversight, and I don't know if they can even fix it. I think they have to re-upload the Eco Lifestyle Expansion Pack back to fix the issue.
