Music Transcoding - Adjustable Quality/Bitrate Levels

Please allow us to adjust the transcoding settings for music, like we can for video.

 

I'd like to be able to stream my FLAC library remotely using Plex, but I can't afford to stream a 500mb FLAC album when I only get a few gigabytes per month through my data plan.

This would be great. What I have in mind along these lines would be three presets: home wifi, remote wifi, and mobile, each with adjustable bitrate sliders so you could have full-quality streams at home and more efficient streams on the road. It would also be great if the codec (MP3, AAC, Opus) could be selected. I noticed that the Android client got Opus support about a month ago, that codec seems ideal for transcoding.

This and lack of gapless audio is what keeps me from mainly using Plex for music. I still make local copies of music to my smartphone.

Yes, I’d love to see music transcoding options. OPUS support for sure.

I would really like this option to use on my phone during runs or driving around or wherever i don’t have WiFi.
LIKE!!!
