offline tracks bitrate on desktop

[Flibibi]

Hi,

I've been looking for this information on the Spotify website and in the Help section but I can't find it so I'd rather eventually ask it directly here.

I own a Premium account which enables me to stream in high-bitrate quality (320kbps) songs from the Spotify catalog. I'd like to know if the same high-bitrate quality apply to the tracks I saved (not the one I bought) on the spotify application on desktop. Is the quality of the tracks I listen to offline the same as the one I listen to when streaming ?

The device I'm using is a Mac.

Thanks!

Hello.

The tracks you sync for offline playback should be exactly the same quality as the one you stream.

Okay, so if I set the high-quality streaming on, the tracks I save will be 320kbps.

Thanks for your answer.

Hello,

If I made my playlist offline in high quality 320 kbps on my desktop application and synced it to my moblie device would it be in 320 kbps too ?

By the way, it's my first post on forum so hi all 🙂

To sync offline playlists in 320kbps, go into the Spotify app on your phone and go into the settings.

There should be a setting for audio quality.

Make sure "extreme" or 320kbps is selected for both streaming and syncing

What phone are you using? Some Spotify mobile apps don't have 320kbps due to hardware limitations on the phone. 

iOS and Android for sure have 320kbps options that I know of.

Thanks for guiding me. I'm using Android phone so it should work. Thanks again.

You're welcome! 😃

Just look for sound quality in the app options.
