Final app asset total: 17,042,921 bytes (16.253 MiB)

ML Quest modified every source track. Each app asset is a 120-second excerpt
made from the selected 126-second source span. The edit reorders that span for
seamless playback and uses a 6-second equal-power circular crossfade from its
end back into its beginning, with complementary quarter-sine curves. Each edit
was shortened, loudness-normalized to about -22 LUFS, level-adjusted, and
transcoded from the public MP3 source to
44.1 kHz stereo AAC-LC in an M4A container. Scott Buckley does not endorse
ML Quest or these edits.
