Question on download quality with Premium Mini plan #23

So I'm unsure if all countries have this, but there is a Premium Mini plan which is a day/week plan from Spotify. Think this plan as Spotify free plan without its usual restrictions, except it will retain the quality of free plan — so AAC 128kbit/s on web browser and max 160kbit/s OGG in phone. Now, when I use this Premium Mini plan to download a song using your downloader and then see its info using https://mediaarea.net/en/MediaInfo, I see 256 kbps AAC. I want to know if the downloader is falsely converting the audio from 128 to 256 in this case, or is this a loose restriction that the downloader is able to bypass.

I haven't listened to the downloaded songs and compared them yet so I can't tell you auditory difference.

The script never do any conversion. You get what you have set.

Okay, closing this. I'll report back if I get any finding as this whole Premium Mini plan is weird.
