And I've been stupidly hanging onto Spotify Music this year? I'd rather pay for both of these than hang onto Spotify's empty promises. I can pay $14.99 from Qobuz and actually use a service that is well focused on delivering music and curated information designed for serious listeners. I can pay $7.99 with Amazon and get Dolby Atmos Music and high res. I've been hanging on paying all these months and not getting value for my money. Everyone else spells out explicitly their download bitrate. And their language allows them to weasel out of it because they haven't committed. So I'm not convinced that they were really giving us 320kbs. How excited I was to hear that they were going to bring it up a notch, because for me about everything else is top notch. But when I did side-by-side comparisons of Apple Music or Amazon Music who used 256kbs AAC, "Very High" sounds duller, less dynamic and inferior. Ogg Vorbis his supposed to be a better codec than AAC. Hifi is still marked "under consideration"? Even Spotify's premium's designation of "Very High" quality is noncommittal.
If you look at their statements they are so weaselly they must have been written by a lawyer. They've got a very faithful community, of which I was once a part, and they've squandered that goodwill. However, I think Spotify is egregious in not handling things well.
I tend to agree with you all of these services have problems.
