How to Improve Your Spotify Sound Quality

Spotify reached the milestone by growing paid subscribers by 32-percent year-on-year. More than 100 million users worldwide now pay for Spotify Premium. Including free subscribers, Spotify now has a total of 217 million monthly active users worldwide. Spotify lets everyone pick the song they want to listen to right now, even create and save personalized playlists.

However, as long as you're willing to put up with limitless advertisements, shuffle music playback mode, and even poor Spotify sound quality, you can stream Spotify for free. This may be a shortage of most streaming music services. If you have a Spotify Premium account, you could hear songs in the best quality possible. In this article, we will help you easily stream high quality audio on Spotify no matter you are using free Spotify or premium Spotify.

Reason to Set Spotify Music to Extreme

Spotify has four different audio qualities available on mobile including low (24kbps), normal (96kbps), high (160kbps), and very high (320 kbps) and the desktop excludes the 'low quality streaming' option. There's also a default music quality set to "Automatic," which means music may be offered up at lower bitrates when bandwidth is low.

Streaming your music on Spotify Extreme gives you a very high-quality sound. Extreme makes the music sound great, especially listening to music on Spotify through great earbuds. But Spotify Extreme only the choice for Spotify Premium users. Just view high quality streaming Spotify difference from the comparison below.

Note: It's currently not possible to adjust music quality on the web player. There are some differences between Spotify desktop version and mobile version.

One of the common shortages about streaming music services including Spotify is that you cannot enjoy music to the fullest extent while using the free version. The 'normal' default Spotify streaming quality on your desktop or mobile is 160 kbps, with each 'bit' essentially being a "piece" of the song. You could turn on the "High Quality Streaming" option if you're paying for Spotify Premium while ViWizard Spotify Music Converter can make you get Spotify lossless download.
