Storage saver: convert podcasts to memory efficient format
Lots of podcasts use ridiculous, high-bitrate, stereo codecs for what is essentially just voice content. My podcasts eat up many gigs of my precious phone storage now.
An option to convert these files to a mono, 24kps opus file (whether locally, during download, through a web service, whatever) could cut down on disk space usage by 25-80%, depending on the podcast while having negligible effects on quality. Of course this would need to be a per-podcast option, music podcasts would need higher bit rates.
This would be a killer feature for me. I tested it myself and reduced disk usage from 6gb to 1.5gb. Well worth the tiny drop in quality for me.
Sorry but I cannot alter podcasts files. Podcast owners owns the files rights, so I don’t have permission to modify them
