Is the quality of stations also better once subscribed to premium?

Hi there @lacasa.delcastor

I've been checking this with our devs and we can say that, if the radio provides a better quality stream from the source, our player should follow suit and adapt to it according to the users settings. So as a Premium subscriber you can stream on high quality for songs, and if the radio station has a stream for this type of sound quality, you can select it too. The changes may not be visible immediately, but that's the idea behind it.

Thank you for your query and engagement 😉

I don't know for sure but my sense tells me it doesn't. I guess it is the same.

I know this is an old thread, but could you confirm that the radio stations are limited to the bit rate of the source? In other words, a Deezer Hifi subscription would not result in a lossless stream if the radio station only broadcasts in 128k?

Thanks,

Hi Soren,

The quality depends on the radio stream itself, not Deezer. We just add the radio stream to our platform. Hope that helps :relaxed: @sorenm

Hey @lacasa.delcastor

The radio stations are available with German IP. In which country do you live?

Even if this thread is almost older than a year, I will pin my question below it.

Is the shown quality of the radio stations correct? For example, if a radio station only provides a 128 kb/s stream, will I still get the, in this case, the wrong option of "High Fidelity"?

Hi @FloMo, the quality of radio broadcasts on Deezer is always 128 KB. The high fidelity quality is only available for music content.

Note that there are real-life FM radio stations available on Deezer, but also virtual track radios or mixes based on similar tracks in the Deezer catalogue. These will of course play at the highest audio quality that your account allows.
