Forget about playlist. They don't have most of the English songs of the past.

I listen only regional music. And I see that they are missing quite a few albums! Still with what they have, curation is excellent. Most of the other apps have junk songs in their Playlists all the time!!

Hey Guys,

After fiddling with Spotify for a week, I found the reason why the quality wasn't up to the mark, even at Very high. It's because of the below setting "Enable Audio Normalization" that is "On" by default. After turning this off, the quality is immaculate. I'm yet to do a comparison, but I think it's on par with Wynk Music or even better. Do remember to turn the equalizer off, before turning the Normalization off. After turning the Normalization off, you can try enabling the equalizer if needed and adjust according to your requirement. I personally turned both Normalization and Equalizer off. I'm now enjoying superior quality on Spotify.

The below picture is on iOS, however it should be similar for Android too.

Normalize volume is enabled by default on desktop app too. I've turned off. Thanks @Siva bro. Audio quality is much better now.

Best way to test the quality is to change to another track and come back to the track that we want to test, after modifying the setting, as there won't be any difference in the current track unless we change to another track and come back. Almost immediately we can notice the volume difference.

I restarted sportify after turning it off. I noticed the difference. Btw, some songs may sound louder than other songs.

That's right, they will sound as recorded. That's better than losing quality!
