My primary intention was not that I wanted to use flac or pcm. The objective was to have the unaltered sound quality just as Spotify streams it. So I was looking for some 'untouched' or 'pass-through' setting in Spotty. But that is not there. Then I thought to use flac, since that wouldn't deteriorate the sound of the original stream. But I couldn't find a 'use flac' selection either. Only a choice between 96/160/320, which to me seemed like some mp3 re-encoding. Then I got confused (even more) since it is mentioned in the threads here that Spotify/Spotty uses ogg, but I found on Spotify's website that they use aac. (with 256 kbps as the highest quality) So that suggested to me some re-encoding was going on here with these 96/160/320 settings. But I think by now I understand what is going on. - In Spotty, 96/160/320 are not actual bitrates. - Spotify offers three different stream qualities: Normal, High, Very High. - In Spotty you can select which of these streams you want to 'receive'. So, neither of these three settings perform any re-encoding, and ogg, mp3, flac, pcm have nothing to do with this at all. (please correct me if I am wrong about this though) If my assumptions here are correct, I humbly sugges that Spotty's audio quality menu gets a minor renaming that clarifies this a bit better and also uses the exact same naming as Spotify does: Spotify streaming quality: Normal (approx. 96kbps) High (approx. 160kbps) Very High (approx. 320kbps) Thanks everybody for the help! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jistme's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=63566 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=110455 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
