8) Ensure playback compatibility and gapless behavior

• For gapless albums, ensure encoders preserve gapless metadata (FLAC does by default) and players support it.
• Test in players: foobar2000 (Windows), VLC, Clementine, Music apps on macOS/iOS/Android (confirm behavior varies).

Actions you can take

• To inspect files: open FLAC in foobar2000 or Audacity — confirm 24-bit/96kHz in file properties.
• To verify integrity: run flac --test *.flac or use a player with ReplayGain/verify.
• To tag/organize: use Picard, Mp3tag, or similar to correct metadata.
• To convert (if needed): use ffmpeg or dBpoweramp to convert to other formats.
