High quality download doesn't seem to work

[zachheine]

"If you have a GO+ account it will allow you to download songs in 256 kbps AAC quality, and songs which are only available with GO+"

I do and I have my client_id and auth_token set but it still seems to download 44.1 files.

Not all tracks are available in high quality, can you send a link of the song in question so I can check it?

this for example was downloaded with the token of a GO+ account, and as a official release should be available in HQ

regardless of that, is there any way to manually check if there's a HQ version of the track in soundcloud?

plus I changed a line

bitrate_KBps = 256 / 8 if "aac" in transcoding.preset else 128 / 8

to

bitrate_KBps = 256 / 8 # if "aac" in transcoding.preset else 128 / 8

and it still shows its bitrate as 128 kbps in both CLI and rekordbox

I was able to download this track in 256kbps with my GO+ auth token so I am not sure what the issue could be. (ffprobe outputs this: Stream #0:0(und): Audio: aac (LC) (mp4a / 0x6134706D), 48000 Hz, stereo, fltp, 257 kb/s).

Do you have high quality audio (Settings > Streaming > Streaming quality) enabled in your account settings on SoundCloud?
