Audex Trace is a Mac mini player for Apple Music that shows what is actually playing in real time: codec, bit depth, sample rate, and output match status. It also shows Playing Next, estimates upcoming queue quality, and warns about tracks that may skip or fail before they interrupt playback.

minimalist phone: reduce your screentime
Idea: If the music is not of good quality, the tool could recommend a better-quality song (or sample of that song) – like remastered versions.

Thanks for checking it out, Nika, I really like that idea.
Since Trace already looks ahead at the queue and estimates quality, surfacing a “better-quality version may exist” suggestion could fit really well.
I’d likely start with recommendations rather than automatic switching, but this is definitely something I’d like to explore.

@busmark_w_nika It’s in 1.3. Trace can now surface higher-quality versions and alternate releases for the track you’re playing, as suggestions rather than switching automatically. Thanks again for the idea.

Quick update: I refreshed the Audex Trace landing page and guide to make the Apple Music sample-rate mismatch problem clearer.
The $19.99 launch price ends at the end of June, then Pro becomes $29.99.
The free Compatibility Check is still available, so you can test detection on your Mac before buying.
