I'm not an audiophile, but is there a significant difference in quality between an MP3 file and a 720P youtube video? Streaming 256kps would seem fairly trivia

Streaming 256kps would seem fairly trivial on even a mobile connection these days.
I know I can use spotify on my phone over 3G at 192kps.
It would also just seem to be a question of "when" before somebody releases a really good music player application that just uses youtube as a backend.
- ZoFreX 14y agoNo, but many, many YouTube videos that are songs (either music videos or slideshow + song) have been re-uploaded and/or re-encoded many times, so often they don't have a high quality option, or if they do you're watching a 360p re-encoded in 720p. If you've ever listened to a song on YouTube that sounded like it was being played underwater, that's what happened to it!
