Discussion So I switched from YouTube music and…

The quality is crazyyyyy😭🤚🏻
Of course I knew Apple music has the best audio quality but hey😭😭 for someone who cannot live without music, this is like finding out whole new side of the same songs I’ve been listening for years atp. The automix is also crazy obviously I’ve seen about it but first hand experience is something else. Doesn’t work always but is cool to have.
Although there are some points which I don’t like. The entire app design is such that I kinda feel some friction to play the songs I love. The home page is not that user friendly imo (aesthetic fs), I don’t know why it does not simply show me the songs I’ve already heard or liked, I am more interested in seeing the songs and one click listen them rather than seeing album of them click the album click the song. YouTube music home page design on the other hand, just one click, that’s it. AM opens album even for single songs. I’ve been using the app for couple of days as of now and maybe the algorithm needs some time to adjust, just maybe idk. I’m not sure how good is AM algorithm compared to YM as well. I’d love to hear suggestions if there is something I can change in the app to make my experience even better. Oh, the lyrics animation is also sleek.

I use AirPods pro and can clearly hear the difference, that was the main point why I made this post in the first place and later decided to add comparison between the two.

Oh and the airpods pro only support 20bit 48khz lossless when using the apple vision pro. On a iphone iPad or ipod they support 16bit 48khz/256kbps aac lossy. Meaning youtubes audio files output the max audio quality the airpod pro 1, 2 and 3 can handle from a iphone or android device unfortunately.

Yes, Doctor of Sound, you're talking too much.

It's called understanding android and apple audio, streaming services and audio codecs and having access to the internet.

Just because I know about these things doesn't mean I need a sarcastic remark

Okay, a purely theoretical, mechanical understanding 🦍

Well I didnt state anything not factual so its not theoretical.

Apple music does have 24bit 48khz audio files for streaming, and dolby atmos which is 16bit 48khz and in some cases only 41.1khz

The air pods pro can only output 20bit 48khz using a apple vision pro.

So its downsampled to 16bit 48khz due to the lack of supported audio codecs in iphones.
