I was a professional jazz trombonist for 60 years. I just went for the Premium trial. I have several CDs of the albums I have selected. I first noticed this in my car. A lot of the tracks go off key several times. I've always been known to have a pretty good ear for music and it is obvious to me, so much so, that at times I don't even recognize what tune is playing until I listen for several minutes. Is this because of the streaming and can it be corrected? Has anyone else made this observation? I can't be the only one? It is the same on my desktop.

Hey there @edman222, help's arrived!
It may be that the version you've been listening to using the CDs is written differently as to the version that was uploaded to Spotify by the artist. Are they key changes big differences from your CD version? Is the rythme and tempo still the same?

Thanks for that, @edman222!
Spotify doesn't modify the audio that's provided by the artist/label, but as a Spotify Premium subscriber, you're able to stream content at a higher playback quality. Find out more here https://support.spotify.com/using_spotify/system_settings/high-quality-streaming/ 🙂
Does this help with the sound? If not, would you be able to let me know the Spotify URI for the track?
Cheers!

Hi Edman.
I realized the same but as other members replied , quality of recording depends on equipment , tools, program and studio. I have been using native instruments products for years and for example while mixing 2 songs from same musician , sometimes mono/stereo balance could go wrong and it is not able to hear tiny mid range sounds. Spofity has a kind of developer in the setting menu but changing the high quality streaming needs a good internet speed and data. With home wi-fi system is easy to get it but for our phones we need to have the same quality internet connection as well.
Thanks for sharing your experience.
Have a great day.
HI all,
Just noticed this the quality does depend on the equipment used...
Thanks for the insight.
