Since pointing out the 320kbit disparity on various forums a bunch of newspapers also cought up with the "news" and we are seeing real progress now.
There is also a way to check Spotify's bitrate directly on Mac, see below:
I would also prefer more transparency in the bitrate of the songs. On the Mac, when you make a playlist available offline, the 'Console' application shows the bitrate for those songs. I would like to see that kind of information in the Spotify application itself.
Btw i love Spotify, but the bitrate issue has been bothering me just like it did to you.
Using console, I recheck my 115-track 320k test playlist, five tracks already cached so can't tell. Out of the 110 remaining tracks, 60 of them are now at 320 kbps.
And the pattern is clear, most popular tracks have been converted in the past few weeks since my initial test, or, more likely, since the original post was published. The relatively less popular tracks generated by Spotibot are still mostly at 160 kbps
