Try and see if you can pick the lossless audio out of the three. Can you tell the difference?īelow are three songs, each presented in three different versions: a lossless version at 1,411 kbps, a “premium” version at 320 kbps, and standard version at 160 kbps. Couple that with a range in the quality of soundcards and speakers, and it’s almost impossible for the average listener to pick which is which.

Lossless audio cuts less bits.īut in actuality, the difference is very difficult to discern. General consensus includes these 3 types of opinions: Some say, 320 kbps MP3 sounds as good as FLAC, some allege that 320 kbps MP3 sounds inferior to FLAC while others assert that there is a definitive and indubitable difference between the two, FLAC being way better than MP3. So objectively speaking, there’s less audio there for your ear to interpret. When a song is compressed, an algorithm removes bits from the track that it believes the human ear can’t pick up, which reduces the overall file size. High-fidelity or lossless audio has a significantly higher bitrate of 1,411 kbps. This is the same CD ripped via EAC, but with one encoded using FLAC & the other LAME mp3.
#320 kbps vs flac 320kbps
Having said this others & I can hear the differences between 320Kbps mp3 and FLAC blindly at a consistent 100 rate. Up until now, Spotify has compressed audio down to a bitrate of 160 kbps on desktop or 96 kbps on mobile devices - Spotify calls this rate “normal.” Paid subscribers also have a “high quality” option of 320 kbps audio on desktop. FLAC has more air than 320Kbps mp3, but the mp3 is definitely listenable and I love using Spotify Premium. Though a Spotify spokesperson declined to confirm the existence of the new tier, the move would not be unexpected streaming service competitor Tidal already offers high-fidelity streaming for $19.99 a month. Spotted by Reddit users and confirmed to The Verge by a source inside Spotify, the new tier, currently dubbed Spotify Hi-Fi, will cost an additional $5 to $10 a month on top of the service’s $10 monthly price for its premium ad-free streaming service. Im sure with my new setup, I will one day test again and see if a difference comes alive.

Okay so I decided to finally bother listening to a song in FLAC after always ripping music to 320kpbs mp3 or aac files. I couldnt hear any difference between FLAC files and 320 KBPS. Then I went to my 192 KBPS files, and downloaded FLAC and 320 KBPS versions of them. Doing FLAC downloads of songs I love and know really well to compare.
In March, Spotify briefly A/B tested a new lossless audio version of its streaming service. I couldnt hear any difference between FLAC files and 320 KBPS.
