From Spotify's own FAQ:
- Ogg/Vorbis [96, 160, 320 kbps]
- AAC [128, 256 kbps]
- HE-AACv2 [24 kbps]
Interesting. Depending where you look and how old the information is. That's the trouble with the internet - persistence of data and un-dated documents. I've also read somewhere that they put AAC (instead of Vorbis) in an OGG container.
I suppose in the end it comes down to which service's combination of UI, library, discovery features, and sound quality (and maybe other things) meets our own individual needs. For me that's Qobuz at the moment. It could change in the future, or not. I've also used and enjoyed Spotify and Google Play Music in the past.
Oh, and FWIW, one of the deciding features in Qobuz's favor, for me, anyway, is the fact that they're the highest-paying (per-stream royalties) when it comes to compensating the artists. Who deserve to be compensated for the pleasure their music brings us.
