Improve audio quality with Spotify - how it works

With Spotify you can significantly improve the audio quality of your tracks. We'll tell you what you have to do for it.

Spotify: improve audio quality

In the free version of Spotify, you only stream at 160 kbps in Vorbis format. In order to get a higher data rate and thus a better sound quality, you unfortunately have to upgrade to the premium version. This currently costs you 9.99 euros a month, but has many other advantages:

1. To subscribe to Spotify Premium for a fee, log in to your account online and then visit the Spotify Premium settings.
2. Here you can now choose from numerous payment methods such as Visa-Card and Paypal with which you can pay for your subscription.
3. As soon as your premium access is active, you can increase the bit rate of your music in the Spotify app in the settings to up to 320 kbps. You can find the option under "Extreme quality" on your smartphone and PC client (see photo).
4. Note: The higher data rate of course also requires more traffic on a mobile device. So you should use the offline feature and permanently load your music onto your device via WiFi. Thanks to the premium version, you can of course also use other features, such as offline playlists or "seamless playback".

Now you can stream Spotify music to large boxes. Read how to hear Spotify on your stereo.
