Description

Hello, again :)

If I understand correctly playlistfromsong recodes music into mp3. Is there a way to prevent it (and use another format)? Or at least is there a way to select a bitrate? Or this is useless because source of the music already has mp3/192kbps-like quality?

I can see that some of sources uses OPUS. That is much better than mp3, IMHO.

Best regards, Dmitry.
