How to Improve Spotify Music Quality

If you haven’t touched the settings on the Spotify app, there’s a good chance you can boost the quality of the audio you stream. If you also use Spotify’s offline mode to listen to music when there’s no internet connection, you can enhance the audio quality of downloaded songs, too. To take advantage of this, you need to change the default settings of the Spotify app.

Enhance Overall Playback Using the EQ Tool

Another way of improving the quality of music played via the Spotify app is to use the built-in equalizer tool. This feature has over 20 presets covering different types of music genres and frequency configurations. You can also manually tweak the graphic EQ to get the best sound for your listening environment.

If you’re not familiar with audio bit rates, the average MP3 is 192 kbit/s, and higher quality MP3s are 320 kbit/s. Lossless audio codecs, like FLAC, tend to float around 1000 kbit/s. Return to the Settings screen by tapping Your Library and the Settings icon.
