Bump the history schema on both the Kotlin finalizer and the Dart database to v9, adding bitrate (kbps) and format (codec label) columns, and let the download flow fill them from backend/probe metadata so lossy downloads keep a 'AAC 256kbps' label instead of falling back to the stored placeholder. Library filtering and the track metadata screen now read format/bitrate directly from those columns, which also fixes mis-tagged quality badges after re-downloading a track at a different format.
Additional fixes bundled in: EditFileMetadata now routes ReplayGain writes through the M4A path whenever the file starts with ftyp (fixing .flac files that actually hold MP4 containers); GetM4AQuality falls back to the first trak/mdia/mdhd duration when mvhd is zero so EAC3 streams no longer report 0s; and both Kotlin and Dart reject bitrate values below 16 kbps to prevent probe noise from surfacing as '0 kbps' labels. New unit tests cover the EAC3 mdhd fallback and the mis-named M4A replaygain path.
GetM4AQuality now recognizes fLaC, alac, ec-3, ac-3, and ac-4 sample entries and parses the MP4 FLACSpecificBox so library entries carry the real codec rather than the container extension. The AudioQuality struct exposes Codec and Bitrate fields (with an estimator for compressed streams), and ReadFileMetadata publishes format + audio_codec so Flutter and Kotlin can make format decisions based on the actual stream.
Downstream: library_scan labels M4A-family items as flac/alac/eac3/ac3/ac4/m4a, zeroes the bitrate for lossless formats, and the filter UI + quality badges use the codec-derived format instead of only the file extension. Scans and SAF importers also accept .mp4 and .aac file extensions. New unit tests cover codec name mapping and MP4 FLACSpecificBox decoding.
GetM4AQuality previously defaulted to 16-bit whenever the audio sample entry was not ALAC, which silently labeled lossy AAC downloads as CD quality in the library and in extension APIs. Only fill BitDepth when the atom is ALAC (including the ALACSpecificConfig refinement), and leave it as zero for AAC/mp4a, matching how the MP3 and Opus probes already report lossy sources. Tests cover both the ALAC and AAC branches.

Multi-artist tag fix (#288):
- Add RewriteSplitArtistTags() in Go to rewrite ARTIST/ALBUMARTIST as split Vorbis comments
- Wire method channel handler in Android (MainActivity.kt) and iOS (AppDelegate.swift)
- Add PlatformBridge.rewriteSplitArtistTags() in Dart
- Call native FLAC rewriter after FFmpeg embed when split_vorbis mode is active
- Extract deezerTrackArtistDisplay() helper to use Contributors in album/playlist tracks
Code cleanup:
- Remove unused imports, dead code, and redundant comments across Go and Dart
- Fix build: remove stale getQobuzDebugKey() reference in deezer_download.go
- Add artist_tag_mode setting (joined / split_vorbis) for FLAC/Opus multi-artist tags
- Split 'Artist A, Artist B' into separate ARTIST= Vorbis comments when split mode is enabled
- Join repeated ARTIST/ALBUMARTIST Vorbis comments when reading metadata
- Propagate artistTagMode through download pipeline, re-enrich, and metadata editor

- Use req.ArtistName consistently for Qobuz downloads instead of track.Performer.Name
- Add l10n keys for artist tag mode, library files unit, and scan finalizing status
Add ReadM4ATags() that parses all standard iTunes atoms (title, artist,
album, album artist, date, genre, composer, comment, copyright, lyrics,
track/disc number) and freeform '----' atoms (ISRC, label, lyrics).
Fix two pre-existing bugs in the M4A atom traversal:
- findM4AIlstAtom: now tries moov>udta>meta>ilst first, then falls back
to moov>meta>ilst so files from Tidal/Qobuz/Apple Music are handled
- readM4AFreeformValue: 'name' atom payload is raw UTF-8 after 4-byte
flags, not a nested 'data' atom; fix reads it directly so ISRC/label
freeform tags are no longer silently dropped
Refactor extractLyricsFromM4A and extractCoverFromM4A to reuse the new
helpers (findM4AIlstAtom, readM4ADataAtomPayload) instead of duplicating
the atom traversal logic. Add extractAnyCoverArtWithHint M4A case that
previously returned a hardcoded 'not yet supported' error.
Add extractCoverFromM4A() that reads the covr atom from the MP4
box tree (moov/udta/meta/ilst/covr/data). Wire it into
ExtractCoverToFile so ALAC-to-FLAC conversion preserves cover art.
- Add _convertToAlac() and _convertToFlac() in ffmpeg_service with
single-pass FFmpeg encoding, metadata tags, and cover art embedding

lossless targets, and lossless hint text

local_album, and queue_tab screens with lossy-source filtering

buffer from 24 to 32 bytes, read sample rate from correct offset
(bytes 28-29) and bit depth from samplesize field (bytes 22-23)

- Fix service selection ignored: user's preferred service now takes priority
- Add preferredService parameter to downloadWithExtensions
- Gray out Amazon in service picker (fallback only)
- Clean up unused code in Go backend
