[Feature Request]

Description

be able to download not just flacs but any resolution, which would save me time and space when downloading my music in flac to be converted to aac so i can use it in apple music. it wouldnt completely remove the usefulness of the built in converter. this could be accomplished by converting the songs to the selected resolution right after they are downloaded, but that would take the same amount of time as how ive been doing it. but its not a particularly bad solution.

Use Case

saving time and space

Passing through, but you can use FFmpeg with sox to down-sample all of your songs to 16bit 44,100Hz damn near losslessly.

Pro Tip: Use the libfdk_aac encoder when reencoding to aac for the best possible quality. Unfortunately you will need to build FFmpeg or find a repo such as this one that has it included. :)

I have attached the script I use to bulk down-sample my FLACs.

downsample.sh

the app already uses ffmpeg to convert music files, but you have to do it manually.

the point of what im asking for is so that i dont have to go through an extra step to get files readable by apple music after downloading them using this app.
