Regarding the noise at the end of each track

I misunderstood that the aggregator "Router FM" only receives 44.1kHz audio files (actually not, but their description in Japanese is misleading). Considering the fame of Adobe Audio CC (from Adobe Creative Cloud) regarding its audio resampling quality, I tried using it to convert my master files (24bit 48kHz FLAC encoded by using AFConvert, a commandline tool available in macOS 10.15 Catalina). However, this software misread my master files as 32bit audio files, hence the short noise at the end of my each submitted track. Converted audio files are already submitted before I realized this problem, and I have no way to modify my submitted files.

$ END.
