 在设置页面选择音质，立即生效（影响后续播放的歌曲）。
 
+> **重启后保留（#125）**：音质选择会持久化到 `data/config.json`（每个平台各自记录），重启机器人后自动恢复，无需每次手动重设。
+
+### 重启后保留的播放设置
+
+以下运行时设置在改动时自动落盘，重启机器人后自动恢复，不再回到默认值：
+
+| 设置 | 作用范围 | 存储位置 |
+|------|----------|----------|
+| **播放音量**（`!vol` / WebUI 音量条 / REST `/volume`） | 每个机器人独立 | 数据库 `bot_instances.volume` |
+| **播放模式**（`!mode` / WebUI / REST `/mode`：顺序 / 列表循环 / 随机 / 随机循环） | 每个机器人独立 | 数据库 `bot_instances.play_mode` |
+| **音质**（各平台，WebUI 设置页 / REST `/quality`） | 全局（各平台各自记录） | `data/config.json` 的 `audioQuality` |
+
+聊天命令、WebUI、REST API 三种入口的改动都会被持久化。播放队列、当前歌曲、进度、`!fm` / `!artist` 等临时播放状态仍为一次性状态，重启后不保留（`!fm` / `!artist` 内部临时切换的随机 / 循环也**不会**覆盖你用 `!mode` 显式保存的偏好）。
