Lossless, always
The master, not an approximation of it
Every album streams as 24-bit FLAC — up to 192 kHz where the label supplied it. That is about 9 Mbit/s, and we think it is worth the bytes.

Gapless is not a feature
It is the absence of a bug. We decode with a lookahead buffer so a continuous mix plays continuously — on every platform, including the browser.
- Sample-accurate transitions on all 11.2 million tracks
- Bit-perfect output on ASIO, WASAPI exclusive and CoreAudio
- Replay-gain applied only if you switch it on
- MQA-style folded files are rejected at ingest
