        Just telling you what the settings page says. It probably just defaults to the maximum quality level. 320kbs may be relevant to other platforms you can download from using Spotiflyer like SoundCloud.

        That said I can’t tell the different between 256 and 320 kbs.

          I think YouTube only has 192kbps, YouTubeMusic has 256kbps. Might be possible it uses YT Music or Deezer for downloading. Are the intros of the videos and stuff included? If not it’s likely a different source.

            There’s no intros. It’s the same tracks as Spotify as far as I can tell. That said it isn’t always able to find more obscure artists. It can be hit and miss

          256 Vs 320 is a bit hard, but some music gets less good in 256 (say Karajan with violines, Vivaldi summer for example. Probably one of the hardest music’s to compress IMO) so its 320 for me. No worries any more or that’s what I feel.

        I like Vorbis/Ogg, which Spotify uses, because it’s FOSS, but AAC/M4A is just has good, een a bit better at very low bitrates (<=64kbs)

        People still use mp3 because, who knows, tradition.

        Just burn it to a cd and it brings it back to original lossless quality. Trust me. Let me know if you need more high quality info.
