If you care about audio quality and your music listening experience you might have noticed that tracks often sound more dynamic and alive on YouTube Music compared to Spotify. Here's why, along with my brief overview of music streaming platforms:
- @Spotify applies loudness normalization by default to ensure all tracks play at a consistent volume. While this is convenient, it can flatten out peaks, reducing dynamics and making songs sound "less alive."
- @youtubemusic, on the other hand, applies less aggressive normalization, preserving the song's natural dynamics.
- Spotify uses the Ogg Vorbis codec (up to 320 kbps). YouTube Music uses AAC (Advanced Audio Codec) at 256 kbps. While Spotify offers a higher bitrate, AAC is often better at handling mid-range sounds—like guitars, vocals, and drums—which are especially prominent in rock, pop, and layered music.
- Take "Songs for the Deaf" by Queens of the Stone Age: On Spotify, the album might sound flat and overly compressed, even at "Very High" quality. On YouTube Music, the same album feels punchier, more dynamic, and truer to the original mix.
You'll notice that YouTube Music delivers a richer and more dynamic experience. I also find it problematic how Spotify dictates the listening experience through its normalization settings, compression, and lack of audio format selection and limitations that persist even if you turn off normalization and select 'Very High' quality. If you're looking for more, such as lossless audio, as most of you know, @TIDAL is the right choice.
At @_radiolize, we have been using the AAC format for 3 years, just like YouTube Music, after reviewing all available audio compression options.
After all, YouTube Music is my go-to listening platform, especially with its endless music catalog.
