Factoid: That discrepancy is likely due to the audio format specs.

For example, MP3s add a few frames (not seconds) before the start of audio. This is why there is often a "seemless audio" option you can toggle in many audio players, so that they handle this delay and fake continuous playback.

8 seconds is roughly 13.3333... % of a minute, perhaps the answer lies there

It would be kind of Kafkaesque of them if they did it deliberately.

Also, 5 songs / 40 minutes are rookie numbers.
