I think that Apple Music is better for those of us who have iPhones because of the operating system. The app is also much more convenient, sounds better, and isn't full of ads or artists who pay to promote their new songs.
The thing about Spotify that makes you want to listen to an artist's song when you're on a list made me so tired that I switched to Apple Music and it's been the best thing I've ever done,
The worst thing, but hey, we got out of that mess. Now I'm looking for a case that suits me for my 16pro, because none of the ones I've seen catch my attention.
I can’t listen Spatial Audio songs … the mixes aren’t that well made and most of them are just remastered for atmos and that is also not that good… but movies with dolby atmos thats epic.
@@marekd2733 It's not perfect. Some songs sound way better in DA (Bohemian Rhapsody for example) and some songs were ruined for me. It's very inconsistent.
Quick note one some of the terms here: What you're talking about is "file compression" on an audio file, but no not "audio compression". "Audio compression" refers to a specific effect that evens out the volume between quieter and louder parts of an audio track. Also "spatial audio" is Apple's rebranding of an existing technique called "audio virtualization" which is built into some music player apps, but typically not streaming services, and Apple does do it a lot better than most using their head tracking system.
what you are saying is audio normalisation. besides, "file compression" can also be referred to as audio compression, because you are compressing audio bits of information in a smaller size.
@@SToXC_. No, audio normalization is ensuring that the average or peak volume of a track meets a specific level. Audio compression changes the volume dynamically throughout a track. And it is an important distinction to make because there are some instances in which streaming services will compress audio
@@SToXC_. No, Spotify does. If you volume is too low and they can't boost it to their preferred volume without it clipping they will apply a limiter (which is a type of compressor with a quick attack), this DOES affect volume dynamically throughout the track, and it's one of the main reasons why music producers like myself always mix at or above -14 LUFS
Note that even though Apple offers lossless, it's doing literally nothing when you listen over Bluetooth, because Bluetooth only supports AAC (medium quality). For lossless, you would need a wired connection.
@@shashankmallamraju4271 YT removes messages with links :(. Just google "About lossless audio in Apple Music", and you'll find an article from Apple on this topic, which mentions that playback from iPhones and MacBooks over Bluetooth uses AAC (not ALAC -- lossless). In theory, it's still better to use Apple Music instead of, say, Spotify, because Apple encodes the music with AAC, and their devices support AAC natively. As opposed to that, Spotify uses OGG, which has to be decoded and re-encoded with AAC before streaming to the headphones. But in practice I noticed absolutely no difference with AirPods Max which are the best Apple has to offer right now.
@@shashankmallamraju4271 yes. Bluetooth is very compressed and due to that, music is lossy, even if Apple Music says it’s “lossless”. Apple has a thread about alac too.
For people who don’t know: 1. you can’t really hear a “huge” audible difference between loseless or lossy 2. You cannot play loseless audio through your wireless earphones such as airpods. Loseless audio require a digital to analog converter to allow the digital signal to be converted to analog signal. This means you will need a pair of wired earphones and a dongle for example to get the loseless experience. Fun fact: A wired USB-C airpods can play loseless as oppose to any wireless airpods lineup because the DAC is built into the type c internal.
@@Sofus-fu4ro when paired with a Vision Pro lol, “AirPods 4, AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation, and AirPods Pro 2 with USB-C Charging Case provide Lossless Audio with ultra-low latency when paired with an Apple Vision Pro” which is still questionable. Regardless, most people can’t tell the difference between lossless and lossy, while some are falling for placebo or confusing it and mixing it up with spatial/atmos (which are neat in their own right). I suggest people test by volume matching by measuring db and a/b test. Another great test is on the abx digital feed website, granted these tracks may not be familiar to the individual.

I'm first and lemme be honest: Apple music wins in sound quality(but has some different music quality levels) Spotify:wins in accessibility ,playlists and more
this is why i use both, using airpods max with apple music sounds amazing and with the right eqs it can on spotify too, but spotify's recommendations are 50x better than apple music's ever will be. i personally think once spotify adds lossless, it'll be over for apple music completely
@@valentinolmaoaccesibility? spotify right now unusable without premium while apple music is paid only and costs way less for month then spotify premium
honestly if youre not using professional grade audio equipment can you even tell? I use Apple Music but I'm positive if I were to listen to a spotify stream and Apple stream on my AirPods I wouldn't be able to tell a tangible difference
@@The92Waffles with the AirPods Pro I can’t tell the difference. Now, when using my Audio Technica M50x with a DAC I can tell difference (if you know what are you listening to) . But again, not everyone is carrying a studio grade headphones with a DAC in their pockets. 😅
Lossless audio makes a difference in percussion I’ve noticed. In Latin Pop from the early 2000’s, a lot of the drums tend to be a lot more clear. You can also hear this with the earlier songs made by Sublime. Listen to Lincoln Highway dub with, then without Lossless Audio. The stick crash every beat is noticeably more radiant. E1• Again, These are all purely imaginative in thought. when I originally wrote this I didn't realize the effort it would take in reality to actually note a difference; of whi ch, require costly conditioned lab settings. I’d generally say that Lossless audio could provided the most difference on* mid-1990’s to early 2000’s songs however
@@bullpup1337 Nevermind I think you're more correct here then. I'm an average listener so I don't really have experience in audio engineering like you probably have I'll edit my comment to include some of your research and additional information
@@freddjie3097 I am not an audio engineer, just a hobby musician with a computer science background and some understanding of the physics and encoding of sounds. I have seen a lot of nonsense on this topic online, often by people who probably listen to bad music with overpriced portable in ear headphones, so I am kind of allergic of claims that something is better just bevause of some arbitrary metric.
Honestly I usually use both. The only reason I prefer Apple Music because it is way easier to use and don't lag often. (I joined Spotify before Apple Music btw)
I had both for a month and, as much as I wanted to stick with Spotify because it knew me better and i knew it better, I couldn't ignore the audio difference in my side by side comparison
I’ve been using Apple Music for a few years now solely because it’s lossless. It’s so nice to listen to music in that format. However, just a couple of points to add. Lossless files use to Red Book bit-rate standard of 16/44.1kHz which is the same format for CDs. However, Apple will also stream music in what they call ‘Hi-Res Lossless’ which uses higher bit and sampling rates from 24-bit/96kHz to 24-bit/192kHz but the number of tracks using that format are somewhat limited. You can usually find these higher formats in many of the latest classical and jazz releases. As a side note, AirPods/Max are not capable (yet) of playing back these kinds of lossless files since they are wireless. The default resolution is AAC. But I suspect that since the AirPod Max can be wired, lossless music can be streamed that way. On the other hand, to take advantage of lossless and hi-res lossless files, you need wired headphones and IEMs. And even though computers and tablets have built-in DAC’s to decode lossless files, having a separate DAC/headphone amp can help maximize the experience of listening to lossless files. The downside is that a wired connection can’t play back music encoded with Spatial Audio since it requires the W1/H1 chip that’s found only in Apple and Beats devices.
Apple have decided to limit their HiRes offering to 3rd party manufacturers - so although they DO have HiRes music, extracting that audio is far too difficult relative to (for example) Tidal.
higher sampling rate is Completely useless and impossible to recognize from 44.1/48khz for listening. placebo effect, do a blind test. 16 bit vs 24 bit could make a difference in specific songs and sound systems, and a larger bandwidth (320kbs vs 1400+ of lossless formats) can be more noticeable (not on fast Bluetooth settings). High sample rate is needed for AUDIO EDITING or RECORDING, for listening, its virtually indistinguishable from 44.1 khz
No W1 Devices can play Spatial Audio with Dynamic Head tracking , only Selected H1 , H2 and Selected Beats can Play Spatial Audio with Dynamic head tracking
@@SToXC_. for many, myself included, there are audible differences between hi-res lossless and standard 44.1. In most cases, if a recording is a RE-mastering from the original source, the differences, while still subtle, are more than obvious. However, if the original source is being recording, edited, and mastered AS a lossless/hi-res file, then there’s nothing to compare it to. It will have to stand on its own. You can still hear more detail and clarity provided you have the right equipment that can extract that information properly. I think you seem to understand that since you say there could be some sonic differences between 16-bit vs 24-bit but in all honesty, If the recording is bad or questionable, no amount of bit rate/sampling is going to improve the music. And since Apple’s entire streaming catalog is lossless (16/44.1 to start), there are going to be songs that may not sound different from their original stream rates. Under a proper set-up, listening to a “standard” rate track (AAC/MP3@320kbps) and compare it to that same track at a higher rate (16/44.1 to 24/48 or 96), most people will hear differences. Some might perceive the higher rate as having greater clarity, more “presence”, better resolution, etc. Some people may not hear any differences at all. These difference can certainly be measured but just because you say there are no differences, even in a blind test, doesn’t mean that the differences don’t exist. I can certainly hear it but then I’ve been an audiophile for over 40 years as well as a professional musician so my ears have had much time developing the ability to hear such things. Your mileage (and equipment) may vary.
Dolby Atmos audio is really cool if you actually have surround sound speakers *and* if the album is mixed well for it (which most are not). So mostly I think spacial audio is a gimmick and will always sound worse than stereo if you’re just using headphones or stereo speakers. Also note, Dolby Atmos is very different to 5.1 and 7.1. Eg 5.1 has six individual audio tracks with specific audio to come out of each speaker, whereas Atmos is a digital format where the mix is created in 3D space and the decoder decides which speakers get which audio depending on your set up. It makes it adaptable to any amount of speakers (although to be certified with Atmos in a theatre you need to meet specific minimum requirements).
What I noticed is that Sweet Home Alabama sounds better on Apple Music than on Spotify. Crazy it’s been years and Spotify hasn’t implemented loseless audio.
Probably it’s because it don’t justify the investiment. At least in Brazil most of the users have a free account. So we can think in two ways: 1 - these free users don’t really care about quality; 2 - Even with the Ad revenue Spotify don’t think this investiment is worthy.
The average person can't tell the difference. I found I could not hear the benefits of apple music. I just use youtube music because the selection is 10000x better than Spotify or apple. It's insane to me that people can use anything besides youtube music when the selection is so limited on Spotify or apple music. Almost everything I want to listen to is not available on apple music. Nothing underground at all. It's really really sad.
@@hobosnake1 I used UA-cam Music for a couple of years and then switched to Apple Music recently. To my ears, there’s definitely a discernible difference in quality-music on Apple’s platform sounds fuller and more crisp and detailed than the same songs do on UA-cam to me. I still have YT Premium, though, so I can listen to more obscure songs that aren’t on Apple Music without ads.
@@hobosnake1Finally a true cultured music lover who appreciates UA-cam Music recommendations ability! I was blown outta my mind, it felt like that first music high I got when I started using Spotify 6 years ago! Praised it so highly but after a while with over 5000 liked songs Spotify really does an ass job with playlists and recommendations 🤦♂️it really crashed imo... I feel like if only YT music tweaked their UI a little and people actually gave it a chance! It could be up there with some respect!
I compared both on studio headphones (Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro) and on Buds 2 Pro. There is no difference between FLAC and Spotify ("Very High", Ogg Vorbis 320). I also let others listen and compare, and they said the same. However, the difference between "Very High" and "High" in Spotify is immediately noticeable.
You never explained why apples 256 is better than Spotify 320. You merely just went onto the other options ie ALAC etc. Don’t get me wrong it’s a good difference to make with the main caveat being most users can’t take advantage of it via wireless headphones
A small bit of advice for filming in portrait mode with an iPhone, it looks great, especially in 4K, but I have learnt to put the F/stop up to perhaps F10 for a more natural looking blur, as the standard and lower f/stops can still look a little artificial. It can be adjusted before recording, after in the photos app, or in Final Cut. Your videos are always fantastic, and that piano music is a stroke of genius, a perfect fit.
But the issue is the lossless audio doesn't work on their own products so the feature, airpod users will have their lossless quality automatically be switched to AAC over bluetooth
Any spotify user still dont believe the difference can try the Apple music on its website. Its not full experience but will give idea of what sound difference really is
It's an Apple slide. And they of course don't want to point at more advanced technology that is, at least in many ways, superior to whatever Apple uses.
Apple Lossless 48khz file size isn’t bad at all. I have roughly 60 hours of music downloaded to my phone which comes out to 27 GB. Still have plenty of space left on the base 128. If you’re not using wired connections then you’ll only need/can use the AAC versions which are roughly 1/4th that size.
For music discovery there is Bandcamp and Soundcloud. Spotify feeds you what is "hot". But for commercial music radio station listeners it is probably fine.
I've used Spotify, Deezer,Tidal,Apple Music services to listen to music. the audio quality is in this order: Tidal> Deezer-Apple Music> spotify. But there is a thing to consider before buying a Tidal or the other hifi music provider services does your equipment supports the hifi quality? If u use an airpods or such wireless earbuds they dont support it, unless u have samsung buds pro 2-3 or a sony earphone. And if u use iphone it doesnt matter what u have u will listen in spotify quality dont bother having other services or again u can by some dac to use it in cabled earphones.
On apple music, if you do select the highest lossless option (ALAC up to 24-bit/192khz)...You'll easily find Audio files hitting up to 180 MB (That's not highest I've actually seen). Right now my phone is set to ALAC 24-bit/48 khz and on average a song is 28-37 MB...I have a few at over 60 MB even at this (relatively low) quality
Holy hell. My man’s got that nice haircut and seems to have slimmed down! On the thumbnail preview I thought you were sharing footage from another channel then I recognized you! I like that we can actually see you again!
for 99.9% of ppl listening in their airpods, earbuds, or headphones you cannot tell the difference. Only real difference is if you're DJing at a large venue and even then, I've seen guys get away with 192kbps and no one notices
I switched from Spotify to Apple Music 5 years ago Will never go back, when they switched the way the app worked I just couldn’t stand it. Also, on Apple Music if you upload your MP3s on iTunes (PC or Mac) they will automatically upload it in the cloud and thus having access to all your devices. It’s just amazing because on Spotify there was SO much music that was missing! If it’s missing on Apple Music I’ll just download it, put details album cover etc and boom.
Their Dolby Atmos with Apple Music is great, but I found that their compression algorithm for the regular lossless format sort of messed up my song. It caused it to clip slightly whereas that wasn't detectable in the master.
It should also be pointed out that Apple Music’s user interface is more accessible to people with visual impairments when compared to Spotify. All of apples built-in software is very accessible to us, and it’s been really great. I can’t recommend Apple Music enough.
Now if you compare both to Tidal, you’ll see that Tidal is far superior than any other music service out there when it comes to audio quality. This is coming from someone who had Spotify Premium since 2013 and recently made the switch to Tidal a few months ago.
spotify: everyone uses it, meh audio quality, SUPERIOR RECCOMENDATIONS, normal stereo audio, SPOTIFY RAPPED. apple music: seen as bad, SUPERIOR audio quality, meh reccomendations, IMMERSIVE AUDIO, apple replay. i just started using apple music, and i dont think ill go back, i now only use it for podcasts specific to spotify. i dont even use recommendations, i know what i wanna listen to lol. i js play albums, not playlists n stuff so im good with apple music
Not sure why ppl mention the recommendations. From my experience it is more or less the same, in less mainstream genres Sptf simply sucks. Guess it mst be dependent on music you listen too. And for classical music lovers, the Apple Classical is simply without any competition even though it is rather small market.
On my experience I tried to use Apple Music for a month and that algorithm was disastrous… Audio quality was beautiful but I missed how Spotify could do a perfectly suited playlist based on my ascending zodiac sing and 3 songs I may clicked in. On the other hand, I could be playing Mozart on Apple Music and the autoplay ALWAYS gave me the same roasted Chainsmokers/Marshmello songs in Billboard hot 100 or some 2017 summer hits sh*t that only Kidz Bop would dare to put together…
Love the new talking to the camera style, but it is really obvious in some shots that you are looking to the side and reading a script. Remember some lines and look directly into the camera for the next video, and it will be a 10/10!
@@mathiasrasmussen7047 The reason for that comment was that this was one of the first video of him talking directly into the camera.

Even seen MKBHD do that
5.1/7.1 ist something completely different to Dolby Atmos. While with 5.1 the producer determines what to play in each channel, Dolby Atmos has sound-objects that have a coordinate in space. That information is processed by the Atmos amp that knows the room and the position of the speakers inside the room and can calculate what to play in each channel basically in real time and for every room or speaker configuration differently. So spacial audio is similar to atmos, but not really to 7.1
For some reason I can notice the difference between the platforms on the High Band (even on wireless earbuds). On Spotify it sounds kinda compressed, undetailed...
You know, a lot of your colleagues have a lot of trouble to convince their viewers to stay until the end. In my humble opinion, this is mostly because they think that they have to stretch out the information to infinity, and sometimes beyond. I know UA-camrs from whose channels I unsubscribed lately that would transport the information that you transport in less than four minutes in like 12 minutes or even 15. You’re doing a great job! Thank you!
I myself never used any other music service long term. I used iTunes when it came out, then when Music came out I used (and currently still use) it. I tried other platforms but I love Music from Apple more.
Bitrate is not everything. The music compression algorithm is the key and Apple's compression was better than Ogg (while Ogg was better than mp3). If you cannot tell difference between 320 ogg and Apple lossless, than it makes no sense to even pay for Sptf premium.
On iTunes, each song is $1.29 and an album is no more than $9.99 and you get to keep the songs/albums forever forever without an Apple Music subscription and it will be on your Apple ID forever
I love the sound quality of Apple Music, but after many years using it I switched to Spotify due to problems with my library. Songs added on my iPhone used to take hours to appear on my mac, your songs just dissapear from your mac app, songs were taking foverver to start playing and then the app skips to the next song. It was a mess, but I do miss some Apple Music features, though I like Spotify as well.
Well in the case of Bluetooth, yes. But apple has their own proprietary wireless chips they use in their earbuds and headphones that connect up to their devices. It's also why the pairing process is super fast. The downside is that you are basically forced into an ecosystem or you are sentanced to worse/no audio and features at all.
main reason i got apple music was for local files, since you can upload them to cloud on pc and listen to them on all your devices, but the audio quality really is so much better especially on pc
LoL, lossless audio can never be played through wireless for current headphones/earphones. Highest bit rate wireless codec is currently Sony LDAC, and it’s only 990 kbps with very close range, whilst lossless bit rate is 1411 kbps. So it’s a scam
I have Apple Music almost since it’s existence! I never had Spotify due to the cloud sync and stuff. I didn’t know that the quality of Spotify was like that! I’m happy with Apple Music even if I pay it but the huge disadvantage of it is that each country is another Apple store and depending the number or listenings Apple adds or removed the songs. Once I’m listening to it and the next day it shows that is not available in my country. That’s very annoying
Thats why i use Tidal, it costs the same, but i pay a family membership so its around 10 dollars more (i dont use $ or € so i dont know), while 5 people can listen to high quality music (if i want i use lossy 320kbps probably the highest quality mp3 version) or FLAC 16-but 44khz or FLAC 24-bit 92khz. (There is not much difference here (except bit rate, i can hear differences but others not so much).
But iPhone bluetooth codex is AAC, it's bitrate is up to 320kbs, so it doesn't matter if you have better quality of music selected on your iPhone, if you are using airpods. It has still the same bitrate like spotify.
I have an Apple Music family plan and my wife took a free trial to Spotify. Didn't know how to explain to her the difference, this is what I needed. Thank you. (Ohh crap I may have ruined my chance to downgrade to a cheaper individual Apple Music membership!)
I have both Apple Music and Spotify Premium. I keep Spotify solely for remoteplay and playlists which I often collaborate with friends. I also find it less intuitive to use Apple Music on Mac OS/Windows. Apple Music straight up does have better quality though. I find I enjoy the music more with Apple Music and it has been that way since I started using Apple Music 4 years ago.
Idk, to me Spotify sounds better, because I can tweak the EQ and it sounds much better. Plus, lossless audio doesn’t even work on iPhone through Bluetooth and I can still use Spatial Audio in Spotify with AirPods Pro.
Hey bro, I have a question. At the start you said "Apple Music" uses 256kbps bitrate. and then at the end you said "Apple music" uses "ALAC" compression format to have a lossless data. Now I am confused. Does alac and flac files also have bitrate like 256kbps or 320kbps? Or they changed from "AAC 256kbps" to now "ALAC file format"? I hope you answer it I really need the answer. Thanks
i have used AM, Spotify and YT music and others more. If you want the best audio its Tidal but comes with a great cost, about like 20 dollar or more each month, AM are the cheaper option with are enough for all. Spotify are just for those who likes playlist and rest of people use it. YT music have the largest library of all but the audio quality are quite bad. like really compressed.
@JohnDoe-nb7jm yeah, but a lot of the unreleased/leaked music on spotify gets removed. with apple music, you can upload your own songs to your library & don't have to worry about that
Every now and then I see people complaining about certain albums becoming unavailable for some time then coming back up in Spotify after a while (mainly metal stuff), never had a problem with the same albums in Apple Music
@JohnDoe-nb7jm wdym Spotify recommendations are literally the same 100 songs devided by "genres". It's a struggle to find new music that isn't reheated shit from 3 years ago.
I switched to Music twice, But still getting back to Spotify after few month! even if it's more expensive and doesn't have lossless audio, Apple Music should really work on their algorithm, On spotify you will always discover new music and much better suggestions
I've never understood why people hate Apple! I'm the opposite - as a Marketing Manager, I've resigned from two companies as I had to use Windows garage. I can tell you that in my last role, Windows computers made my job 10 times harder! It was an insult.
Spotify doesn't use OGG Vorbis, it uses Opus which is better than any existing lossy compressions format for any purpose including AAC. Humans can't distinguish between 320Kbps Opus (or anything above about 220Kbps) and any lossless format unless they have been trained to spot the difference and have a very high grade audio system, and even then they can't always tell the difference. The advantage of lossless is mostly in archiving and audio production and not in casual listening.
nope, i’m able to tell the difference in audio quality on apple music as compared to spotify. I will say spotify still sounds good since it’s a step up from going to youtube to hear songs, but compared to apple music there is a night and day difference for me. maybe im just an audio file 🤷🏾♂️
I also disagree. You‘ve most likely never tested lossless audio before or else you wouldn’t say this. And in my opinion the difference between normal and lossless is crazy. Personally, I can really tell a difference
I can tell the difference in audio quality if i use speakers. I can hear the instruments not overlap each other and that's the biggest bonus having lossless quality,
Yea, I guarantee the vast majority of people saying FLAC is *so much* better than high bitrate lossy haven't done a blind A/B test and thus their results are meaningless. My blind A/B testing found AAC "288kbps" to be completely transparent and even at "256kbps" with fatiguing levels of focus trying to discern them, I was effectively guessing. Near everyone just listening to their music is not going to focus anywhere near that hard. With Opus, ~190kbps was effectively transparent and above 200kbps it became completely impossible. I don't have the highest end gear, Mayflower Arc mk1 (upgraded O2/ODAC) + Sennheiser HD 6XX, but that's still up fairly up there. You also can't compare different audio players unless the loudness is confirmed to be identical as far as comparing codecs is concerned, otherwise even a couple dB difference can make one perceive higher detail that isn't there and invalidate results. You also can't guarantee the same source file was given to both Spotify and Apple, different mastering will produce different sound no matter the codec used.
@@ghoste07 then i guess apple just ended up with better source files. While i haven’t done it blind, I have done an A/B comparison test and each time i hear more of the instruments on lossless. it isn’t just an illusion either since i can accurately hear each instrument each time i play the song, it’s not random which would support your, “just your brain tricking you” theory. Maybe it just has to do with hearing, each human has different hearing levels.
ur not getting free music, if anything the majority of that 10€ (in my region) yt premium subscription is just for yt music because ad blocking and a bunch of other minor features you get with UA-cam premium definitely are not worth 10€

besides, "file compression" can also be referred to as audio compression, because you are compressing audio bits of information in a smaller size.
@@SToXC_. No, audio normalization is ensuring that the average or peak volume of a track meets a specific level. Audio compression changes the volume dynamically throughout a track. And it is an important distinction to make because there are some instances in which streaming services will compress audio
@@owencmyk you are right, this is what normalisation is and its what streaming services do (they dont change audio dynamically)
@@SToXC_. No, Spotify does. If you volume is too low and they can't boost it to their preferred volume without it clipping they will apply a limiter (which is a type of compressor with a quick attack), this DOES affect volume dynamically throughout the track, and it's one of the main reasons why music producers like myself always mix at or above -14 LUFS

Note that even though Apple offers lossless, it's doing literally nothing when you listen over Bluetooth, because Bluetooth only supports AAC (medium quality). For lossless, you would need a wired connection.
Is this true?
@@shashankmallamraju4271 YT removes messages with links :(. Just google "About lossless audio in Apple Music", and you'll find an article from Apple on this topic, which mentions that playback from iPhones and MacBooks over Bluetooth uses AAC (not ALAC -- lossless).
In theory, it's still better to use Apple Music instead of, say, Spotify, because Apple encodes the music with AAC, and their devices support AAC natively. As opposed to that, Spotify uses OGG, which has to be decoded and re-encoded with AAC before streaming to the headphones. But in practice I noticed absolutely no difference with AirPods Max which are the best Apple has to offer right now.
@@shashankmallamraju4271 Yes, it is. Google "About lossless audio in Apple Music", there's an Apple article about it.
@@shashankmallamraju4271 yes, it is. Apple has an article about it.

For people who don’t know:
1. you can’t really hear a “huge” audible difference between loseless or lossy
2. You cannot play loseless audio through your wireless earphones such as airpods.
Loseless audio require a digital to analog converter to allow the digital signal to be converted to analog signal. This means you will need a pair of wired earphones and a dongle for example to get the loseless experience.
Fun fact: A wired USB-C airpods can play loseless as oppose to any wireless airpods lineup because the DAC is built into the type c internal.
2. Is false as Apple actively advertises lossless audio for their wireless earbuds, that being AirPods Pro 2 and the new 4th generation

It’s the Apple explainer guy!!
I’ve been using Apple Music for a few years now solely because it’s lossless. It’s so nice to listen to music in that format. However, just a couple of points to add.
Lossless files use to Red Book bit-rate standard of 16/44.1kHz which is the same format for CDs. However, Apple will also stream music in what they call ‘Hi-Res Lossless’ which uses higher bit and sampling rates from 24-bit/96kHz to 24-bit/192kHz but the number of tracks using that format are somewhat limited. You can usually find these higher formats in many of the latest classical and jazz releases.
As a side note, AirPods/Max are not capable (yet) of playing back these kinds of lossless files since they are wireless. The default resolution is AAC. But I suspect that since the AirPod Max can be wired, lossless music can be streamed that way.
On the other hand, to take advantage of lossless and hi-res lossless files, you need wired headphones and IEMs. And even though computers and tablets have built-in DAC’s to decode lossless files, having a separate DAC/headphone amp can help maximize the experience of listening to lossless files. The downside is that a wired connection can’t play back music encoded with Spatial Audio since it requires the W1/H1 chip that’s found only in Apple and Beats devices.
Apple have decided to limit their HiRes offering to 3rd party manufacturers - so although they DO have HiRes music, extracting that audio is far too difficult relative to (for example) Tidal.
higher sampling rate is Completely useless and impossible to recognize from 44.1/48khz for listening.
placebo effect, do a blind test.
16 bit vs 24 bit could make a difference in specific songs and sound systems, and a larger bandwidth (320kbs vs 1400+ of lossless formats) can be more noticeable (not on fast Bluetooth settings).
High sample rate is needed for AUDIO EDITING or RECORDING, for listening, its virtually indistinguishable from 44.1 khz
No W1 Devices can play Spatial Audio with Dynamic Head tracking , only Selected H1 , H2 and Selected Beats can Play Spatial Audio with Dynamic head tracking
@@SToXC_. for many, myself included, there are audible differences between hi-res lossless and standard 44.1. In most cases, if a recording is a RE-mastering from the original source, the differences, while still subtle, are more than obvious. However, if the original source is being recording, edited, and mastered AS a lossless/hi-res file, then there’s nothing to compare it to. It will have to stand on its own. You can still hear more detail and clarity provided you have the right equipment that can extract that information properly.
I think you seem to understand that since you say there could be some sonic differences between 16-bit vs 24-bit but in all honesty, If the recording is bad or questionable, no amount of bit rate/sampling is going to improve the music. And since Apple’s entire streaming catalog is lossless (16/44.1 to start), there are going to be songs that may not sound different from their original stream rates. Under a proper set-up, listening to a “standard” rate track (AAC/MP3@320kbps) and compare it to that same track at a higher rate (16/44.1 to 24/48 or 96), most people will hear differences. Some might perceive the higher rate as having greater clarity, more “presence”, better resolution, etc. Some people may not hear any differences at all. These difference can certainly be measured but just because you say there are no differences, even in a blind test, doesn’t mean that the differences don’t exist.
I can certainly hear it but then I’ve been an audiophile for over 40 years as well as a professional musician so my ears have had much time developing the ability to hear such things. Your mileage (and equipment) may vary.
@@housepianist i said 16 bit vs 24 bit is audible
44.1khz/48khz vs anything beyond that just isnt
Whoa! Not just a voice explaining Apple Tech. ;)
Dolby Atmos audio is really cool if you actually have surround sound speakers *and* if the album is mixed well for it (which most are not). So mostly I think spacial audio is a gimmick and will always sound worse than stereo if you’re just using headphones or stereo speakers.
Also note, Dolby Atmos is very different to 5.1 and 7.1. Eg 5.1 has six individual audio tracks with specific audio to come out of each speaker, whereas Atmos is a digital format where the mix is created in 3D space and the decoder decides which speakers get which audio depending on your set up. It makes it adaptable to any amount of speakers (although to be certified with Atmos in a theatre you need to meet specific minimum requirements).
So which is better apple or Spotify please ?
What I noticed is that Sweet Home Alabama sounds better on Apple Music than on Spotify. Crazy it’s been years and Spotify hasn’t implemented loseless audio.
Probably it’s because it don’t justify the investiment.
At least in Brazil most of the users have a free account.
So we can think in two ways:
1 - these free users don’t really care about quality;
2 - Even with the Ad revenue Spotify don’t think this investiment is worthy.
The average person can't tell the difference. I found I could not hear the benefits of apple music. I just use youtube music because the selection is 10000x better than Spotify or apple. It's insane to me that people can use anything besides youtube music when the selection is so limited on Spotify or apple music. Almost everything I want to listen to is not available on apple music. Nothing underground at all. It's really really sad.
@@hobosnake1 I used UA-cam Music for a couple of years and then switched to Apple Music recently. To my ears, there’s definitely a discernible difference in quality-music on Apple’s platform sounds fuller and more crisp and detailed than the same songs do on UA-cam to me.

I compared both on studio headphones (Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro) and on Buds 2 Pro. There is no difference between FLAC and Spotify ("Very High", Ogg Vorbis 320). I also let others listen and compare, and they said the same.
However, the difference between "Very High" and "High" in Spotify is immediately noticeable.

Dang I’d forgot all about that.
You never explained why apples 256 is better than Spotify 320. You merely just went onto the other options ie ALAC etc. Don’t get me wrong it’s a good difference to make with the main caveat being most users can’t take advantage of it via wireless headphones
The face reveal is nothing new if you been OG, but it a welcome addition to change the dynamic of the videos.
Now do "Why iPods with ALAC (or FLAC on RockBox) and good headphones sound better than anything on your phone"
A small bit of advice for filming in portrait mode with an iPhone, it looks great, especially in 4K, but I have learnt to put the F/stop up to perhaps F10 for a more natural looking blur, as the standard and lower f/stops can still look a little artificial. It can be adjusted before recording, after in the photos app, or in Final Cut. Your videos are always fantastic, and that piano music is a stroke of genius, a perfect fit.
3:34 Auto captions didn't say "Head-Tracking"
But the issue is the lossless audio doesn't work on their own products so the feature, airpod users will have their lossless quality automatically be switched to AAC over bluetooth
Any spotify user still dont believe the difference can try the Apple music on its website. Its not full experience but will give idea of what sound difference really is

@@KrakenX07 🤷 I did
Kinda curious why you didn't put Opus on the compression formats, it's widely used now.
It's an Apple slide. And they of course don't want to point at more advanced technology that is, at least in many ways, superior to whatever Apple uses.
Apple Lossless 48khz file size isn’t bad at all. I have roughly 60 hours of music downloaded to my phone which comes out to 27 GB. Still have plenty of space left on the base 128. If you’re not using wired connections then you’ll only need/can use the AAC versions which are roughly 1/4th that size.
I switched to Spotify to get better music discovery, didn’t really find it but found a few new songs and stuff. Didn’t hear the audio quality go down.
For music discovery there is Bandcamp and Soundcloud. Spotify feeds you what is "hot". But for commercial music radio station listeners it is probably fine.
I've used Spotify, Deezer,Tidal,Apple Music services to listen to music. the audio quality is in this order: Tidal> Deezer-Apple Music> spotify. But there is a thing to consider before buying a Tidal or the other hifi music provider services does your equipment supports the hifi quality? If u use an airpods or such wireless earbuds they dont support it, unless u have samsung buds pro 2-3 or a sony earphone. And if u use iphone it doesnt matter what u have u will listen in spotify quality dont bother having other services or again u can by some dac to use it in cabled earphones.
Hey After many years its great to see your face again!!!
You are a grown up guy!
On apple music, if you do select the highest lossless option (ALAC up to 24-bit/192khz)...You'll easily find Audio files hitting up to 180 MB (That's not highest I've actually seen). Right now my phone is set to ALAC 24-bit/48 khz and on average a song is 28-37 MB...I have a few at over 60 MB even at this (relatively low) quality
That is him! That is the guy behind all of these videos!!
Holy hell. My man’s got that nice haircut and seems to have slimmed down! On the thumbnail preview I thought you were sharing footage from another channel then I recognized you!

for 99.9% of ppl listening in their airpods, earbuds, or headphones you cannot tell the difference. Only real difference is if you're DJing at a large venue and even then, I've seen guys get away with 192kbps and no one notices
I switched from Spotify to Apple Music 5 years ago
Will never go back, when they switched the way the app worked I just couldn’t stand it.
Also, on Apple Music if you upload your MP3s on iTunes (PC or Mac) they will automatically upload it in the cloud and thus having access to all your devices. It’s just amazing because on Spotify there was SO much music that was missing! If it’s missing on Apple Music I’ll just download it, put details album cover etc and boom.
The only thing that sucks imo is you cannot share your uploaded music even with your family. Otherwise I fully agree.

Not sure why ppl mention the recommendations. From my experience it is more or less the same, in less mainstream genres Sptf simply sucks. Guess it mst be dependent on music you listen too. And for classical music lovers, the Apple Classical is simply without any competition even though it is rather small market.
On my experience I tried to use Apple Music for a month and that algorithm was disastrous…
Audio quality was beautiful but I missed how Spotify could do a perfectly suited playlist based on my ascending zodiac sing and 3 songs I may clicked in. On the other hand, I could be playing Mozart on Apple Music and the autoplay ALWAYS gave me the same roasted Chainsmokers/Marshmello songs in Billboard hot 100 or some 2017 summer hits sh*t that only Kidz Bop would dare to put together…

5.1/7.1 ist something completely different to Dolby Atmos.
While with 5.1 the producer determines what to play in each channel, Dolby Atmos has sound-objects that have a coordinate in space. That information is processed by the Atmos amp that knows the room and the position of the speakers inside the room and can calculate what to play in each channel basically in real time and for every room or speaker configuration differently.
So spacial audio is similar to atmos, but not really to 7.1
For some reason I can notice the difference between the platforms on the High Band (even on wireless earbuds). On Spotify it sounds kinda compressed, undetailed...
Unless you have done a blind test you don't notice anything like that on wireless earbuds.
Does lossless make a difference when using a bluetooth headset on iOS ? I don't think so.
I could have never imagined the man. I always had this blued out figure speaking, now...
You know, a lot of your colleagues have a lot of trouble to convince their viewers to stay until the end. In my humble opinion, this is mostly because they think that they have to stretch out the information to infinity, and sometimes beyond. I know UA-camrs from whose channels I unsubscribed lately that would transport the information that you transport in less than four minutes in like 12 minutes or even 15. You’re doing a great job! Thank you!
I'm loving the background behind you Greg. I hope that's your place. Very nice!
I myself never used any other music service long term. I used iTunes when it came out, then when Music came out I used (and currently still use) it. I tried other platforms but I love Music from Apple more.
very, very few people can distinguish 320kbps from lossless. Even then audio equipment is likely to be the limiting factor first.
Bitrate is not everything. The music compression algorithm is the key and Apple's compression was better than Ogg (while Ogg was better than mp3). If you cannot tell difference between 320 ogg and Apple lossless, than it makes no sense to even pay for Sptf premium.
On iTunes, each song is $1.29 and an album is no more than $9.99 and you get to keep the songs/albums forever forever without an Apple Music subscription and it will be on your Apple ID forever
AE looking clean 🚀
And this is why when i was choosing streaming services, I want the AM - I could hear the difference.
Bro I thought this wasn’t even apple explained till I read the comments lol
I love the sound quality of Apple Music, but after many years using it I switched to Spotify due to problems with my library. Songs added on my iPhone used to take hours to appear on my mac, your songs just dissapear from your mac app, songs were taking foverver to start playing and then the app skips to the next song. It was a mess, but I do miss some Apple Music features, though I like Spotify as well.
Does it matter over bluetooth? I've read that it really doesn't matter in the end because bluetooth drills them down so much.
Well in the case of Bluetooth, yes. But apple has their own proprietary wireless chips they use in their earbuds and headphones that connect up to their devices. It's also why the pairing process is super fast. The downside is that you are basically forced into an ecosystem or you are sentanced to worse/no audio and features at all.

The audio in apple music is MUCH RICHER than spotify. Honestly i dont care about Music Size, but i do care about quality
For Atmos tracks maybe. For everything else, Apple and Spotify sound exactly the same.
I have Apple Music almost since it’s existence! I never had Spotify due to the cloud sync and stuff. I didn’t know that the quality of Spotify was like that! I’m happy with Apple Music even if I pay it but the huge disadvantage of it is that each country is another Apple store and depending the number or listenings Apple adds or removed the songs. Once I’m listening to it and the next day it shows that is not available in my country. That’s very annoying
If ur not using hi-res headphones/earpods that support audio codecs like ALAC its the same shit
Thats why i use Tidal, it costs the same, but i pay a family membership so its around 10 dollars more (i dont use $ or € so i dont know), while 5 people can listen to high quality music (if i want i use lossy 320kbps probably the highest quality mp3 version) or FLAC 16-but 44khz or FLAC 24-bit 92khz. (There is not much difference here (except bit rate, i can hear differences but others not so much).
Is the commentator high? He compare free plan with paid plan and the quality of it? Am i dreaming?
I think paid of Spotify has lossy audio
But iPhone bluetooth codex is AAC, it's bitrate is up to 320kbs, so it doesn't matter if you have better quality of music selected on your iPhone, if you are using airpods. It has still the same bitrate like spotify.
Bro is really yapping about the importance of sound quality while saying that AirPods are the superior listening experience. What a joke.
I have an Apple Music family plan and my wife took a free trial to Spotify. Didn't know how to explain to her the difference, this is what I needed. Thank you. (Ohh crap I may have ruined my chance to downgrade to a cheaper individual Apple Music membership!)
How do Apple’s nuts taste?
I have both Apple Music and Spotify Premium. I keep Spotify solely for remoteplay and playlists which I often collaborate with friends. I also find it less intuitive to use Apple Music on Mac OS/Windows.
Apple Music straight up does have better quality though. I find I enjoy the music more with Apple Music and it has been that way since I started using Apple Music 4 years ago.

Yoooooo bro had a chad transformation. Looking good!
bro took 3:46 to just say its a lossless compression

Idk, to me Spotify sounds better, because I can tweak the EQ and it sounds much better. Plus, lossless audio doesn’t even work on iPhone through Bluetooth and I can still use Spatial Audio in Spotify with AirPods Pro.
this incorrect, also spotify uses also AAC now, Ogg is used and its as good as AAC and their ALAC is sometimes just upscaled AAC files
Hey bro, I have a question. At the start you said "Apple Music" uses 256kbps bitrate. and then at the end you said "Apple music" uses "ALAC" compression format to have a lossless data. Now I am confused. Does alac and flac files also have bitrate like 256kbps or 320kbps? Or they changed from "AAC 256kbps" to now "ALAC file format"? I hope you answer it I really need the answer. Thanks
Does Spotify have a wider range of music than Apple?
i have used AM, Spotify and YT music and others more. If you want the best audio its Tidal but comes with a great cost, about like 20 dollar or more each month, AM are the cheaper option with are enough for all. Spotify are just for those who likes playlist and rest of people use it. YT music have the largest library of all but the audio quality are quite bad. like really compressed.
@JohnDoe-nb7jm yeah, but a lot of the unreleased/leaked music on spotify gets removed. with apple music, you can upload your own songs to your library & don't have to worry about that
Every now and then I see people complaining about certain albums becoming unavailable for some time then coming back up in Spotify after a while (mainly metal stuff), never had a problem with the same albums in Apple Music
@JohnDoe-nb7jm wdym Spotify recommendations are literally the same 100 songs devided by "genres". It's a struggle to find new music that isn't reheated shit from 3 years ago.
I switched to Music twice, But still getting back to Spotify after few month! even if it's more expensive and doesn't have lossless audio, Apple Music should really work on their algorithm, On spotify you will always discover new music and much better suggestions
i am a D1 apple hater but spatial audio + dolby atmos is a combination that legitimately changed the way music sounds. i will never ever go back
I've never understood why people hate Apple! I'm the opposite - as a Marketing Manager, I've resigned from two companies as I had to use Windows garage. I can tell you that in my last role, Windows computers made my job 10 times harder! It was an insult.
On the audio compression front I miss Sonys, Atrac that was so good, then again seeing old clips with MiniDisc make me miss simpler times.
Spotify doesn't use OGG Vorbis, it uses Opus which is better than any existing lossy compressions format for any purpose including AAC.
Humans can't distinguish between 320Kbps Opus (or anything above about 220Kbps) and any lossless format unless they have been trained to spot the difference and have a very high grade audio system, and even then they can't always tell the difference. The advantage of lossless is mostly in archiving and audio production and not in casual listening.
nope, i’m able to tell the difference in audio quality on apple music as compared to spotify. I will say spotify still sounds good since it’s a step up from going to youtube to hear songs, but compared to apple music there is a night and day difference for me. maybe im just an audio file 🤷🏾♂️
I also disagree. You‘ve most likely never tested lossless audio before or else you wouldn’t say this. And in my opinion the difference between normal and lossless is crazy. Personally, I can really tell a difference
I can tell the difference in audio quality if i use speakers. I can hear the instruments not overlap each other and that's the biggest bonus having lossless quality,
Yea, I guarantee the vast majority of people saying FLAC is *so much* better than high bitrate lossy haven't done a blind A/B test and thus their results are meaningless. My blind A/B testing found AAC "288kbps" to be completely transparent and even at "256kbps" with fatiguing levels of focus trying to discern them, I was effectively guessing. Near everyone just listening to their music is not going to focus anywhere near that hard. With Opus, ~190kbps was effectively transparent and above 200kbps it became completely impossible.
I don't have the highest end gear, Mayflower Arc mk1 (upgraded O2/ODAC) + Sennheiser HD 6XX, but that's still up fairly up there.
You also can't compare different audio players unless the loudness is confirmed to be identical as far as comparing codecs is concerned, otherwise even a couple dB difference can make one perceive higher detail that isn't there and invalidate results. You also can't guarantee the same source file was given to both Spotify and Apple, different mastering will produce different sound no matter the codec used.
@@ghoste07 then i guess apple just ended up with better source files. While i haven’t done it blind, I have done an A/B comparison test and each time i hear more of the instruments on lossless. it isn’t just an illusion either since i can accurately hear each instrument each time i play the song, it’s not random which would support your, “just your brain tricking you” theory. Maybe it just has to do with hearing, each human has different hearing levels.
he looks exactly how I'd expect an apple glazer running a UA-cam channel defending all of apple's shortcomings to look like
Hard to pay for one of these services when you’re already paying for UA-cam premium and getting free music
@JohnDoe-nb7jmfor Apple users Apple one is the best one, for all yt premium
ur not getting free music, if anything the majority of that 10€ (in my region) yt premium subscription is just for yt music because ad blocking and a bunch of other minor features you get with UA-cam premium definitely are not worth 10€
It’s easy to pay for them when you realise listening music on youtube is like watching youtube videos in 360/420p
I pay for Apple family plan. A friend of mine pays for Google family plan. We’re in each other’s family so we get best of both worlds 😂
How much do I have to pay to get the premium audio for this video?
Face reveal! 😮
