Hi, I just upgraded to v2020.12.17.0 In this version the file size of the songs is several times higher than those obtained in a previous version of this program for the same song (selecting the same HIFI audio quality). For example the file size of the song "Gee, Baby, Ain't I Good To You?" from the CD Jazz At The Philharmonic (Expanded Edition) in a previous version of the tidal downloader was 7MB aprox. Now in this version the file size is 35 MB!. (it's a 2 minute song!)

thanks for the great work.

p.

There could be a few reasons for this but the larger file the higher quality - more to enjoy :)

Has to be a bugfix from the newer version, a proper hifi (flac) download for a 2 minute song should definitely be larger than 7MB.

As a rule of thumb, any song 10MBs or less uses lossy compression.

25MBs+ is generally lossless
