Vernier 3,786 Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Still not sure if the services they offer are worth enough to make me consider either subscribing to it along with spotify or switching $19.99 is a burden on my uni student pockets Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haroon 49,685 Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 I thought the human ear can't even notice the difference between 320kbps and lossless unless really good speakers are being used? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ItsTommyBitch 12,640 Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Too expensive Netflix, God's own creation is less expensive and more useful 私自身もこの世の中も誰もかれもが, どんなに華やかな人生でも, どんなに悲惨な人生でも, いつかは変貌し, 破壊され、消滅してしまう. すべてがもともとこの世に存在しない一瞬の幻想なのだから Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morphine Prince 109,650 Posted March 29, 2015 Author Share Posted March 29, 2015 Spotify should be 128kpbs to users who don't pay tbh. It's only 320kpbs for Premium. It's less for free. Just went to their website and found: Spotify uses 3 quality ratings for streaming, all in the ggd Vorbis format. ~96 kbps Normal quality on mobile. ~160 kbps Desktop and web player standard quality.High quality on mobile. ~320 kbps (only available to Premium subscribers) Desktop high quality.Extreme quality on mobile.
