Yes, as rharv said, this is most likely an mp3 codec fault. Different mp3 codecs put differing amounts of data at the beginning of the file, which makes the lineup not come out right when opening again in another program or place.

*This can be solved by placing an audio event such as a countin sticktap, or at least a handclap, recorded, at the beginning of every track at the exact same place on the timeline before converting and sending. Then the person on the other end has to line up those starting events manually after they import the tracks.

Sending .Wav files makes for larger filesizes, but eliminates that particular problem. Use of one of the .wav programs that make the filesizes smaller is a good idea here.
