    "Relatively popular songs are stored in their original 160kbit/s OGG Vorbis quality, while the rest use 75kbit/s "

    I don’t know OGG files but if that is comparable to MP3s of the same quality then it is all pretty shitty quality.

      75kbit OGG Vorbis is like maybe 128kb mp3, while 160kb Vorbis is indistinguishable from CD quality for most people on most equipment.

        What’s wrong? That’s just standard audio quality.

          Even YT has 128kb/s, and YouTube audio quality is the bare minimum for the majority of people not to complain

            Youtube doesn’t define what’s standard and what’s not because it’s backed by a multi-billion dollar company which could make all audio playback there 100% lossless if it wanted to.
