Audio without loss against high resolution audio: What is the difference? Part 2
While files with loss save storage space, they sacrifice the quality of the audio to be highly compressed. However, the industry adopts audio files with loss such as the de facto standard to deliver music to listeners.

The loss audio files are everywhere these days. All transmission sites, from YouTube to Spotify, reproduce compressed music. Fortunately, with the use of modernized coders and audio formats, these files sound good. Then, most people will not complain.
That is, the music we play is different from the study version. It is of less quality. Part of the reason are the compression techniques that use musical production in addition to the original recording.
The loss audio files are completely decompressed or use compression techniques that do not cause any data loss. Then, if it is transmitting audio without losses, it is transmitting music without compression artifacts. This can improve audio quality.
However, lossless files do not always produce a better quality sound. If the compressed file itself is of poor quality, decompress it will not help. Therefore, try to see if lossless audio makes a significant difference.
