The fight to see who gets the biggest piece of the pie in terms of music streaming service is still latent. As Spotify achieves all-time highs on its platform, Apple Music grows slowly with rising expectations thanks to new forms of entertainment by the big apple. In the background, and for that reason no less important, other services such as Tidal, Pandora or GooglePlayMusic. The latter has an app in the App Store with all the functions of the Google service. Today it has been updated by adding a very interesting function: choose the quality of the music we listen to.
Quality choice in Google Play Music, the new feature
If we access the application within the App Store we see that the new version of Google Play Music is the 3.20.1005, but it does not enclose in the description the news that it brings. This is a technique used by various companies to make it happen. investigen the possible new tools of the application.
In this case, they have been included new options to control the quality of the music we listen to thus allowing us to choose the level of compression also of the music we download. If we look back, in other versions Google allowed us to modify the quality of music on 3G and 4G networks, but now we can make the same choices in Wi-Fi and offline connections (deciding the quality with which we download the tracks).
Although this function is really interesting to control the data and storage that we spend, Google Play Music does not specify the qualities. That is, the quality of the tracks is only: high, medium, low. For future updates, it would be nice if you specified the bitrate level of the music.
Currently, and for comparison, Apple Music offers 256kbps qualities (but includes a 90 kbps option for mobile connections). And, in the case of Spotify they are 96kbps, 160kbps, or 320kbps.
