Description

I see that the /tracks/{track_id}/streams endpoint provides alternate stream urls. It would be awesome to have access to additional streaming quality options here. i.e. 256kbps or 320kbps?

Or is there currently a way to get a stream url for better quality files without calling the original upload?
