I'm saying I don't like them. What do you mean by source? Obviously a
poor original will never be improved by Spotify. I'm saying the overall
quality is poor. And to be clear, Triode, are you saying the settings in
Spotify's own app/client do not affect those in your plugin?

When I started this little sub-thread in post 1,936, I was simply
moaning about the overall quality of Spotify's supposedly 'high
quality' 320k stream. It does seem to vary - which I imagine must be
something to do with how Spotify has changed its conversion and/or
storage habits over time - but in general I'm disappointed to have to
pay for something that isn't consistently top-notch.

JackOfAll, that's an interesting thought. Is this the same thing as
Enable Volume Normalization in the Spotify's own app/client  prefs? If
yes, see my question above about interaction between Spotify's
app/client and Triode's plugin.
