Isn't the audio quality usually worse than spotify?
- mcny 7y agoMy understanding is Spotify (premium?) can also serve low quality audio when the user has a poor connection? YouTube compression is horrible but passable for many people, I think. People listened to music on AM short wave and medium wave just fine as well. The key point was that radio was readily available.
- Biganon 7y ago320 kbps mp3 is not horrible at all. You wouldn't use it to archive your music, but it's barely distinguishable from FLAC.
- paganel 7y agoFor non-audiophiles such as myself the YT music videos are more than ok, I used to listen to YT music videos almost all day long until not that long ago while doing office work. The good thing about YT was that you could find almost anything on it, from that rare Italian giallo album to traditional Tajik music. Not sure if that’s still the case or if Spotify doesn’t offer the same huge variation of choices.
- Sharlin 7y ago99% of people don't care. And the hardware they're listening on is typically the bigger bottleneck anyway.
