Soundcloud mp3 high quality11/3/2023 ![]() I'm assuming that yt-dlp restricts the user to the sound quality that they have access to, as YouTube Premium and Soundcloud Go+ both offer higher audio resolutions for their premium offers. For MP3s: Cut-off at 11kHz = Bitrate of 64 kbps. The higher the cutoffs, the higher quality the actual audio is. If you want to compare just download your two audios and load them in Spek. Having consistency helps when sorting as well. I've stated previously I prefer 320k CBR because I can see how high quality the MP3 is using the file manager's metadata reader, versus CBR, that can vary, sometimes only stating an average, making me think it's lower quality when it isn't. The link you provided says that the audible quality DEFINATELY won't won't increase (which is not something I'm disputing), but does says the quality MIGHT get worse. However, on the flip side, if youtube provides opus with cutoffs at 20khz or higher, converting to 320k mp3 will maintain those, again minus the minimal data loss from a lossy conversion, and you would definitely be getting better quality from a youtube conversion. This would then be the same as soundcloud's 128k mp3, but with a bit more loss due to the additional conversion, so soundcloud would be slightly better. If Youtube provides opus with cutoffs at 16kHz or lower, then using -audio-quality 320k will only serve to bloat the file size, and the resulting MP3 will still have cutoffs at 16kHz. Also there is no need to convert opus to mp3 because more audio information will be lost So youtube sounds a bit preferably in my opinion. Opus format preserves more of high frequency information at lower bitrate. Here is the partial output for yt-dlp -F command only audio formats:ġ39 m4a audio only 2 │ 11.76MiB 49k dash │ audio only mp4a.40.5 49k 22k low, m4a_dash249 webm audio only 2 │ 13.45MiB 56k dash │ audio only opus 56k 48k low, webm_dash250 webm audio only 2 │ 17.76MiB 74k dash │ audio only opus 74k 48k low, webm_dash140 m4a audio only 2 │ 31.21MiB 129k dash │ audio only mp4a.40.2 129k 44k medium, m4a_dash251 webm audio only 2 │ 35.03MiB 145k dash │ audio only opus 145k 48k medium, webm_dashĢ) Soundcloud hls_opus_64 opus audio only │ m3u8 │ audio only unknown 64khls_mp3_128 mp3 audio only │ m3u8 │ audio only unknown 128khttp_mp3_128 mp3 audio only │ http │ audio only unknown 128kĪs you see youtube offers 145 kbps opus encoded opposite to 128 kbps in mp3. Just compared two similar mixes from youtube and soundcloud - CBS: Japanese Jazz from 70's Vinyl Set.
