The trick with Spotify is to always select VERY High for Stream and Download for the best quality at all times. Then, turn OFF 'Download using Cellular', so you do not kill your data plan when you are away from Wifi and riding the bike.

Also, open the EQ and make sure it's relatively flat for any output source you are using with it's own SQ adjustments. Then I download everything to my phone's separate 128GB SD card, and when riding the bike, I only play what I have downloaded. Sounds pretty good in most cases.
