Can you force music to transcode to mp3 when not on WiFi?

Hi,

my music library is mostly in big FLAC files, and I'd like to force encode it to mp3 when not on a WiFi network (ie. LTE) in order to save bandwidth. Is that possible?

Before you suggest it, no, I'm not looking to download it on my phone.

Windows server with Android client if that matters.

Storage space is cheap....I have over 1000 CDs in WavPak lossless or more....but I also have all that music in mp3 also.  Just experiment with Lame Encoder with settings and let em rip to a hard drive then create a separate library for only streaming to your phone.

Pretty sure the only way is adjusting the device internet quality via playback settings.  Just a setting you will have to remember you set.

There is a separate music quality setting you can configure to avoid impacting video playback.
