When you first realized that most youtube videos have shit audio

>>71603207

I post music on youtube.
I use the original flac files and encode them in mp4 with the libmp3lame audio codec at a sample rate of 44100Hz and a bit rate of 320kb/s.
Would you consider that shit?

>>71603332
probably another form of le shit mp3 right? pleb do you even attend the symphony and listen to music properly?

>>71603353
The max audio quality on youtube is 192kbs

Is this true?

I used to use a youtube to mp3 converter. You could her the audible difference drop from youtube.

This is true.

>>71603353
>>71603383
I apparently can't hear the difference between 192 and 320kb/s.

>being this pleb

>>71603207
I figured this out years ago, like when YouTube came out

>>71603383
It's actually 128kbps now but mastering > bitrate

You can find tracks on YouTube that sound MUCH better than CD FLACs if you search exclusively for vinyl rips. Observe:

no but youtube compresses the audio from any format to 192 kbps which is shit if you listen to anything downloaded in that compared to 320 kbps

>>71604000
>I apparently can't hear the difference between 192 and 320kb/s.
How?? just download the same song in 192 compared to 320 it's so easy to tell the difference, 192 sounds lower and more muddy

very few ones

>>71604902
How would you know it's a reddit meme unless you go on reddit?

>>71604434
I just downloaded a couple youtube videos to test this out for myself. The audio streams were both 192 in my player.

OKay, so I just downloaded that first video off youtube and it's playing at 96kbs.

So, what's really going on?

I just downloaded this video https://youtu.be/wmsiciDG088 and it's playing at 191kb/s.
What gives?

Use Youtube music. Band - Topic. It sounds fine since it's official, not just some persons random upload, as good audio quality as Youtube can handle. You can find loads of shit.

Youtube can handle nothing

>>71603207
My faggot roommate downloads songs from converted youtube video. Everytime I hear his shit i scream internally

/mu fags cant even tell the difference between an mp3 and FLAC. This is just a topic people bring up to seem patrician. Is the music capable of making you feel something (?) because that's all that really matters. Does God Speed become cringe-core at 192kb/s? Fuk yurselfs

Where does /mu/ download high quality flacs?

i'll listen to a song off an album im interested in, and if i like it ill download it.
also listening to really old and obscure punk albums on youtube is fine because they all sound like they were recorded in a dumpster so the bitrate really doesn't matter very much

>>71605091
If I do
>youtube-dl -f m4a
Then it outputs 128kbps

If I do
>youtube-dl -x
Then it spits out a 128kbps vorbis/opus usually

>>71605192
With 4k Video Downloader I can get a 192 of this while youtube-dl only gets 128, but this one only gets 128:

(which is better than the other one posted, I fuckin dare you to find a CD FLAC version that sounds as good)

NPR "How Well Can You Hear Audio Quality?"

Got a few of them right but not all. The most obvious is classical
