Note:
 This is another previous development. so somehow i dont drop the case for good encodings and somehow i tend to pull them up and they come out good and im using the default legacy encoding setup and not fiddling around with the post flac encoder Signal Processing settings.  this is a really good encoding. very strong sound .... btw, the legacy encoding allow the gain to work properly but somehow the encoding has to be just right.... the signal options over some amount of trying have gotten some results but in the weight of expirmenting i know theres a way to kick the power and gain in alot more but altogether i will make way to gather some time and reviewing the encodings in this blog to make the results better. i really wish mainly as a goal to make the gain operable on the encoded songs from the encoding results whereas i must find a good mock up for this... the sound must be good or else i wouldnt make any advancement in my head insomuch i take on reading and writing the much so for the music in how it achieves its weight in the world the pure enigma of sound and brain activity when listening is the most valuable thing on earth. im serious ... you get the encoding right man of christ the earth shakes at your soul with this media player technology.
