- levels get situated in ToG. I smoothed out the bumps a bit.
- extremely minor hit of static in s2t11. I left it alone.
- Jerry singin' "I'll shine my light in the cool Colorado rain." In the state where I had been hanging my hat, still gives me chills.

Tagging notes:
Show information is embedded within the header of each flac file.
It will display on any player capable of directly playing flac files.
If converted to wav during processing, all tags will be stripped,
however audio data will remain unaffected. If you must
transcode to a lossy format, do so directly Flac > Lossy.
Use ffp or st5 to validate audio integrity.
Md5 values will change if tagging is altered.
