Then went to Virtuoso version to test both Spotify and Tidal connect

You don’t need a myVolumio subscrition for Spotify Connect, it’s a community plug-in and is available in the free tier…

When playing from the Volumio app Spotify is still 320KBPs

You aren’t alone here – there is quire some confusion that is caused by the Spotify plugin showing the bitrate in the sample rate field…

The bit rate isn’t the same as the sample rate… Both plugins are using the same spot in the UI to show you different information.

There is a further setup ? Honestly the audio don’t seem so bad, so I can’t understand if it is a “false bug”. Just to co…
