insane:

 

 

High res? I don't get anything like that from youtube, just transcoded lossy slop that is well worse than spotify lossy on the normal setting. Its unlistenable to me.

 

 

YouTube Music with Premium is supposed to be 256k, so they say... 

 

 

That is not high res, that is mid tier lossy at best, and it doesn't seem to deliver anything like that when I have been lucky enough to get it to actually play the audio from an album and not just a video without a picture. Youtube music seems to be the most quarter arsed product out of google ever. I was hearing artifacts like it was the early 2000s ripped by musicmatch jukebox.

I've switched to Tidal. Well, found I could sign up for 30 day trial + $3 extends that to 60 days trial it's a head start on a new sub.
