Tag: Audio quality »

Are you a true audiophile who wants your music at the highest definition possible? Do you also happen to be a Spotify user who loves listening on the go but feel like the quality could be better? If so then you'll be happy to know that the latest update to the Spotify app cranks it to 11, introducing a new "extreme" level of audio quality.

The new update allows users to stream songs at 320kbps. which doubles the high quality option (160kbps) and utterly destroys standard quality (96kbps). The only downside is that if you're planning to use the maximum available quality then you'd best either be connected to a Wifi network at all times or packing an unlimited data plan that isn't likely to get throttled. Still, power users with access to copious amounts of data will likely be thrilled at the prospect of never being without Spotify's 15 million tracks, now available in a higher quality than what even iTunes has to offer.
