Comment on Spotify caught hosting hundreds of fake podcasts that advertise selling drugs

  You absolutely can. It’s not massive. But Spotify does sound muddy in comparison. And I’m not some crazy audiophile either. But I’ve definitely heard more clarity in some of my favourite songs and noticed certain powers of them that I’ve never noticed before just because I was using a FLAC vs using Spotify where I used to listen to it.

  At a certain point, you’re right your not going to notice a difference on shitty speakers but there’s something about Spotify’s lossy compression that even at high you’ll notice the difference between the two.

    Completely disagree, and I have tens of gigs of FLAC music to go with my 10s of gigs of MP3.

      I also don’t think Spotify’s High setting is as good as an mp3 of the same stated bitrate
