Apple’s recently announced Apple Music streaming service is set to make its jump into the complex music streaming industry. Apple did leave out some details from its announcement yesterday, including the streaming quality of the music. Chris Davies of SlashGear is reporting that Apple Music will stream at 256kbps — the same as iTunes Match and most iTunes Store tracks. Now the report does not mention which codec Apple Music would be using. For instance, 256kbps AAC (which is what iTunes/Apple current uses) is generally better sounding, or equal to 320kbps MP3.For comparison, Beats Music streams at 320kbps MP3 or HE-AAC 64kbps on mobile. Spotify uses a variety of different bitrates, encoded through Vorbis: 96kbps for mobile and 160kbps for desktop. If you’re a Spotify Premium user, you get 320kbps on any platform. Jay’z Tidal music service offers 320kbps for $10/month and HiFi Lossless streaming for $20/month.Share Article:Facebook,   Twitter,   LinkedIn,   Google Plus,   Email,   Reddit,   Digg,   Delicious,   StumbleUponFollow iClarified:Facebook,   Twitter,   LinkedIn,   Google Plus,   Newsletter,   App Store,   YouTubeAdvertise Here
