Current Situation

There are a lot of fake FLAC tracks and albums on Tidal, for example, there could be two exact copies of album on Tidal, but one of them is real FLAC tracks, other is rip usually from mp3.. (checked with spectrum viewer (spek in my case)). Fake FLAC is considerably lower in size comparing to real FLAC file.

Suggestion / Feature Request

It would be nice to know the file size before downloading, for example to have another column in search named "size" to immediately know which track/album to download. Or of course, some other way to know which file is real FLAC.

Unfortunately TIDAL does not provide explicit information about the size. I cannot see any other possibility how to detect, if the audio item is a "real flac" or not. If you have any specific idea in mind let me know or get me a pull request.
