128 Kbps Vs 320 Kbps Audio? Why Do Old Songs Have
128 kbps a max bitrate of 4,000 Kbps, plus a max audio bitrate of 128 Kbps YouTube Live recommends a range between 1,500 and 4,000 Kbps for video, plus 128 Kbps for FIrst yes, 128kbps on a standard club sound system will sound pretty much like trash Lossy audio is going to cut alot of the sub frequencies and high end tones
The lower the Kbps, the more data the encoder will eliminate when compressing an audio file; the range for bit rates is from 96 to 320 Kbps 128 128kbps may even be better than higher bitrates because you listen less critical and most of the time you can't hear the details because of the background
128kbps files are much smaller than 320kbps files, and the reason is that they have been “compressed” much more from the original audio there's really no rational reason AT&T can give for keeping 128kbps throttle as even Verizon with their questionable LTE capacity still does
