Hi-Res FLAC Identification in ' expanded now playing' screen

Feature requests
1

Feature description:

I would like to request a feature that displays “Hi-Res FLAC” in the now playing screen where codec is displayed when 24-bit/44.1kHz and above bit files are played.

Currently in the expanded now playing screen a 24-bit FLAC file displays as “FLAC · 24/48 · 1900 kb/s”. It would be nice to have like “Hi-Res FLAC · 24/48 · 1900 kb/s” or a highlight saying “Hi-Res FLAC”

Problem solved:

More similar to some players that display Hi-Res FLAC in the expanded now playing screen.

Brought benefits:

Indication about a Hi-Res FLAC file and also some UI pleasing.

Other application solutions:

 
Similar to “MAX” on tidal and some that show “Hi-Res” below the artist name in the expanded now playing screen.
 

Additional description and context:

 
Somewhat like this screenshot in which Hi-Res is mentioned above the play button, which someone had posted on this forum recently regarding “Queue and Lyrics shortcuts”: https://support.symfonium.app/uploads/default/original/2X/d/d929d23c67ba673a9ea23d1313a746b73e70567b.jpeg

Well except that the normal default minimum for hi res actual name would be 24/96 :wink:

So that screen is a lie and your 24/48 file is actually no hi res at all by the normal definition.

This leads to the eternal question what is hi res, and how to ensure it’s actually hi res and not just upsampled. If I take an mp3 and encode it to flac 24/192 it won’t be hi res.

So to resume: Sorry won’t add something that have no meaning, and different understanding by different peoples
