A long time ago I subscribed to iTunes Match. A couple of years ago I switched to Apple Music, that includes iTunes Match. I ripped all my CDs many years ago, and many of the songs were matched with songs already in Apple's library. Today I noticed that one of the ripped songs had been replaced in my library with a different version of the same song. While comparing the album in my library with the same album in the Apple Music library, I noticed that the Apple Music library offered lossless for this album, while my ripped version obviously did not support lossless. I manually replaced the album in my library with the version from Apple Music. I wonder, is there a way to replace songs in my library with higher quality versions, but otherwise identical recordings, from the Apple Music library? In this case, the Apple Music album also does not support Dolby Atmos. But for several other songs the Apple Music versions do support Dolby Atmos. Anyone ideas on how to update the music in my library?

If you change the quality settings you do need to re-download the tracks though. To do this you first need to remove the entire Spotify cache by opening Spotify, tapping the menu and going to settings. Scroll to the bottom and tap the button to clear the cache.

The advent of streaming services has forever changed the way we access music. Even audiophiles with a stubborn preference for physical formats have to admit that it's hard to fully resist the pull of online platforms when it comes to conveniently accessing thousands of songs and albums.

I'm a staff writer at What Hi-Fi? and focus primarily on audio and hi-fi products. Due to this, I naturally spend a lot of time using all of the latest music streaming services. What makes one better than the next, you might be wondering? Crucial factors to consider include sound quality, the range of the catalogue on offer, and the intuitiveness of the user interface and software. In this guide, we'll be going over many of the most popular music streaming services and discussing what makes each one stand out from the next.

Tidal is our overall pick for hi-res audio listening and this year's What Hi-Fi? Award winner for 'Best music streaming service'. Offering MQA and now FLAC playback, Tidal is an excellent streaming service with a wide library of diverse music. It's easy to navigate and offers better quality sound than a lot of the competition, though its top tier is on the more expensive side of these services.

YouTube Music has received several refreshes in appearance and feature set and is looking like more of a contender to the bigger services these days. We were impressed by the amount of long-lost gems hidden in the service's vaults however we'd like to see an improvement in audio quality.

Tidal is now a serial Award-winner and has long been at the forefront of high-quality streaming, and the service was made more accessible thanks to changes in its pricing structure that saw the inclusion of lossless 16-bit 44.1kHz audio streams in its standard plan. Sadly, Tidal has been feeling the squeeze recently, so those prices have increased to now start at 11 /$11 / AU$12.

The rest of the platform's catalogue of over 82 million songs can be played on pretty much any device you own, thanks to intuitive iOS and Android apps and support in numerous smart TVs, connected speakers and other AV kit courtesy of Spotify Connect. Sadly, Spotify recently mirrored Tidal in raising its prices, with subscriptions (students notwithstanding) starting out at 10 / $11 / AU$15 a month.

Spotify delivers an accessible, comprehensive and complete experience and even offers a meaty discount for students. Plus, if you don't have any spare cash to spend, there's a free tier that offers lower-quality streams supported by adverts.

While it may be evasive about its standard tier, Amazon Music has gone all-in on high-res and 3D formats and is not at all bashful about it. The number of Ultra HD songs on the platform has tripled since the format was introduced in 2019 and unlimited subscription-holders also have access to a rapidly growing catalogue of songs mixed in Dolby Atmos and Sony's 360 Reality Audio, a boon that (according to Amazon) has grown by more than 20 times since spatial audio was originally introduced to its listeners.

For Prime subscribers looking to take advantage of the reduced subscription cost and the added CD-quality and hi-res tiers provided by Amazon Music HD, Music Unlimited makes a lot of sense and is certainly a tempting alternative to more premium services.

The app is available through Sonos speakers and anything Google Assistant-powered, such as Google Home devices or third-party devices. As for sound quality, the 256kbps streams are far from unlistenable but sound compressed in a way that main rivals don't.

Qobuz When it comes to 'hi-fi' streaming, Qobuz could be considered the king of content. While it may offer more hi-res tracks than other services, its rivals boast bigger overall music libraries. As much as we care greatly about high-quality sound, not having an album at all is worse than not being able to listen to it in hi-res. Because of this, you may have a hard time using Qobuz as your only music-streaming source, and might find yourself needing Spotify or Apple Music to fill any gaps.

Of course, sound quality is of great importance. Many services such as Tidal offer access to hi-res/lossless formats such as MQA and FLAC, while others such as Spotify only offer approximately 320kbps streams. For some, this is not the be all and end all

With any purchase, price is something you have to factor into your decision. Take a good look at the different subscription plans on offer from each streaming service while you consider the the catalogue and sound quality available. You might find a cheaper, more suitable option elsewhere!

In a word, yes. If you subscribe to Amazon Prime, you can access Amazon Music Prime for free. It's a stripped-down version of Amazon Music Unlimited, so while you do have ad-free access to Amazon's entire music catalogue, it's only available in SD quality, not CD or high-res. And, you can only play via shuffling artists, albums, or playlists. Want higher quality or more specific control over playback? You'll need Amazon Music Unlimited which is 9.99/$9.99/AU$9.99 if you don't have a Prime subscription and 8.99/$8.99/AU$8.99 if you do.

Spotify is the longest-running music streaming service out there so it has a run on most if not all of its rivals. And it has a fine track record of launching new software developments that keep moving the streaming game on (even if we're still patiently waiting for its CD-quality Hi-Fi tier) and it's also one of the streaming services to offer a free music app alongside its premium service. Spotify Connect also exists in its armoury, which sees the service baked into compatible speakers, TVs, and a range of hi-fi and AV products, which just adds to the appeal.

If you're looking for sound quality better than Spotify, you don't have far to look. In our opinion, both Apple Music and Tidal offer a step up. Apple Music in particular offers not only better standard-quality streams than Spotify it also offers higher quality streams too, with both CD-quality and hi-res available to stream through the service.

My problem is when I finish mixing and mastering everything sounds good on my monitors on high or low volume. It is good on low volume on my car stereo but on maximum volume it gets so bad and distorted. My car stereo volume goes to 50 and when I play other songs I can raise the volume to max without any distorting but with my songs, I can only raise the volume to 45, after that I feel like my speakers might explode.

So a very simple solution to your problem might be a wrong gain/frequency structure in the bass and highs which can lead to extreme imbalances on higher volumes. Since your song sounds good on lower volumes you are on the right track, and the imbalances might be very small.

Be sure to highpass everything, so that the bottom end (roughly 120 Hz downward) is only occupied by kick and bass. And be sure to really make them work. A beginner mistake is, that they have a bass and then make the kick unnaturally loud to cut trough the mix instead of finding a kick/processing a kick to make it work with the baseline -> On louder volumes your kick seams to really jump out and destroy the mix.

Be sure to lowpass everything at around 12-18 kHz but the most important high elements. This is very important since if you have a lot of toped, then you mix your cymbals and stuff a lot louder than the mix needs. Then on higher volumes the cymbals jump out and become dangerously loud.

Wrong utilisation of Dynamics. Think of it like that. If on very little volumes you hear a good bass and then you make it louder -> bass will become louder than the rest of the track -> If your balance works at low volumes the balance becomes unnatural at higher volumes. So be sure, that you have a great compressed bass signal that does not jump in volume then mix the bass as low in gain as possible. usually it is a very good idea to mix the bass at a volume that is a bit louder than you normally mix, then reduce the volume of your monitors again, to se if the baseline looses to much energy... A good mix level for bass is around 80-85 dB SPL (careful these is the range where the pressure starts to hurt and destroys your ears if you listen for some time). The ngo back to a volume that represents a normal conversation around 60-70 dB SPL. This tactic works for me. If one or two notes jump out then use compression or eq, but be careful that those notes are no room resonances of your room!! 0852c4b9a8
