Because from the API side, if we fetch it using a track link, only 16-bit quality is available. If we want it to be like in your screenshot, we have to paste the album link instead.

Meanwhile, I am using https://song.link to convert the Spotify link, and this is what causes it to always fall back to 16-bit even if you select 24-bit. For now, I can’t fix this because it would change many things, so I’ll just add a warning later when the user selects 24-bit.
