I don't know is this possible or not but i am just asking. Will you add "audio quality" option. So user can change audio quality like 128kbps, 164kbps and 256kbps. So if i implement this audio quality option than user can listen songs at 256kbps for free.

The bitrate of the adaptive formats differs based on the authentication credentials you're using. So no, it's not possible to listen to higher quality streams without a subscription.
