I'm going to try and compare some music that I own physically with the streamed stuff some time later this week. So it makes me wonder, does the music I used for the tests sound equally bad in 128kbps and 320kbps or do both companies get 128kbps encoded material from the labels but only Spotify reencodes it at 320kbps (which would be kinda stupid)?ĭoes anybody use these services? If so, it'd be nice if you guys could chime in on this. Lossless audio files and the Deezer app is pretty much on any device you want to use, plus Deezer works really well on Android Auto. Spotify's seems way too confusing for me to just start getting into now. What's interesting is that despite the differences in bitrate, I couldn't easily tell which service sounded better. Deezer has a much easier interface for me and what I listen to on the app. Deezer, on the other hand, seems to stream a lot of files at only 128kbps even though I always kept HQ enabled. It turns out that with the high quality streaming enabled Spotify always streams 320kbps files. I measured the amount of data downloaded per song for at least 20 different songs on both, Deezer and Spotify. I did some more tests with the desktop players, as that's what I'm mostly interested in. Not to mention the sound coming out of my phone ain't nothing to write home about, and that's putting it lightly. While Spotify hasn’t officially disclosed it, the per-stream payout should be directly affected by its payout rate. For example, Spotify pays about 0.0033 per stream. Featuring numerous playlists, original video, and CD-quality audio, Deezer is a great middle ground between Spotifys awesome music curation. Then again, it's hardware and OS dependent. The basic payout calculation is quite simple: streaming platforms typically have a set payout rate per stream, multiplied by the number of streams. Deeper soundstage, more space between instruments, punchier bass and the highs aren't as garbled. To me, even between 160kbps and 128kbps the difference is easily discernible, with the former sounding better.
