📊 Audio Quality Detection

Rhythm automatically detects and displays audio quality badges:

- Lossless: FLAC, ALAC, WAV, PCM - Dolby: AC-3, E-AC-3, Atmos - DTS: DTS Audio - Hi-Res: ≥48kHz sample rate or lossless

🔧 Technical Limitations

- Container Detection: Some formats use identical containers (e.g., AAC and ALAC both use .m4a) - Hardware Dependencies: Dolby/DTS formats require device-specific decoders - Codec Extensions: Rare formats may need additional libraries (not included by default) - Bit Depth: Limited to device capabilities (typically 16-bit or 24-bit) - Sample Rate: Limited to device hardware (typically up to 192kHz)

💡 Recommendations

- For Best Compatibility: Use FLAC, MP3, or AAC formats - For Lossless Audio: FLAC is universally supported and recommended - For Hi-Res Audio: Check your device's capabilities first - Format Conversion: Use tools like FFmpeg or dBpoweramp for unsupported formats

Note: If a format doesn't play, it may be due to device/exoplayer limitations rather than app issues. Try converting to a supported format or check your device's audio capabilities.
