   • Original Format: Direct playback of original server files for the best quality
   • Specify Bitrate: Choose a specific bitrate (128kbps, 192kbps, 320kbps)
   • Switch by Network: High bitrate on Wi-Fi, low bitrate on mobile data
3. The player shows the current track's audio format and bitrate

Mobile Data Protection

Android HD Audio

Android enables high-definition audio passthrough by default:

• Dolby Atmos support
• FLAC lossless format optimization
• Audio passthrough avoids secondary processing

---

Notes

• Transcoding requires server support; some servers (e.g., Plex) transcode automatically, while others need manual configuration
• Lossless formats like FLAC have larger file sizes and may consume significant mobile data
• High-bitrate transcoding increases server CPU load
• Daoliyu, Subsonic, Emby, Plex, and Jellyfin all support max bitrate settings
