SoundCloud Drops Audio Quality To 64kbps Opus

by Your EDM Staff
January 5, 2018
in EDM News
The SoundCloud Apocalypse Is Upon Us

UPDATE: SoundCloud has responded to the reports of lower sound quality and claims that these codecs and others have been in use since at least 2016. Read their full response here.


Audiophiles beware, SoundCloud has dropped its audio quality from an already paltry 128kbps to a new low of 64kbps Opus. For non-audiophiles, a bitrate of 64kbps Opus is supposed to sound as good if not better than 128kbps MP3, but due to an older codec, the end result leaves the current audio quality of Soundcloud far below what it had been previously – which already wasn’t fantastic.

SoundCloud has yet to comment on why it’s cut the bitrate on its platform, but there are already plugins for various browsers that will help you restore the audio quality back to 128kbps.
