+I prefer maximum compression as possible with replay gain applied. This command below will silence all warnings, especially when dealing with Hi-Res audios: `a.wav: WARNING: Legacy WAVE file has format type 1 but bits-per-sample=24`

 ## MPEG Audio Layer 3 (MP3) - LAME
 
 LAME is so far the best MP3 encoder out there. This is my encoding settings to achieve the best quality to play on my MP3 player. No ReplayGain flag is passed since it doesn't append the calculated value anyway. Use foobar2000 (run it in Wine) if you want to apply ReplayGain in MP3 files.
 
+**Be noted that I only encode to MP3 just to play it on my legacy media player or when my friend requested me to do so.**

-DON'T EVER TOUCH FRAMESIZE SETTINGS IF YOU'RE ENCODING MUSIC!!!
+I'll use 192kbps VBR ([see here why](http://wiki.hydrogenaud.io/index.php?title=Opus#Music_encoding_quality)), with maximum encoding complexity, default framesize (20), and no expected packet loss. The only consideration with the default framesize is that softer music will result in a slightly higher bit rate than what it should be with other encoders, which are mostly lower than targeted VBR (one of my soundtracks could reach up to 234kbps with my settings). If you prefer close-to-targeted VBR, `--framesize 10` might worth trying.
 
-I'll use 192kbps VBR ([see here why](http://wiki.hydrogenaud.io/index.php?title=Opus#Music_encoding_quality)), with maximum encoding complexity and no expected packet loss. Supported input formats: WAV, AIFF FLAC, RAW PCM.

 **Notes:**
 1) Android 6.0 doesn't recognize Opus audio with .opus container, use .ogg instead.
-2) Puddletag doesn't recognize Opus audio with .ogg container. Change file format to .opus and back to .ogg when you're done with metadata editing in Puddletag.
