I hear a huge difference between the Spotify tracks and the HD lossless digital ones. But I’m not sure how much of that is the quality or the mastering.

Sometimes I hear a difference between the same Hi-Def track if I play it on the computer at 44100 Hz or 88200/96000/192000 Hz. The treble is more "bright" at higher sample rate (even too bright for my taste).

It is not a glitch. I attached a short clip of a vocal isolated version of the remix about 2 seconds before the 2:07 mark. Without the instrumentation you can clearly hear, "LIVING for love..."

Yes, but there is still that "T" in the background... Actually if you check the multitrack, esp. track LFL 51 M verse lead voc, you clearly hear that "T" and it's because that's how the vocal track was rendered. Whenever they use the acapella, it's there and that's what happened here.

So then we can just expect them to release the leaked mp3s on the expanded editions? 😂

And I think it's not only a joke...

Yes me too. I try to stream as much as possible, but sometimes I just want to hear every instrument in the background, and you can't do that on Spotify because it's too compressed.

I'm still waiting for Spotify Hi-Fi

[Black Mamba 36]

So we get an abridged version now on Spotify and the full 50 in two months?

[Neon Fever Dream 3,360]

Yes.

Well, HDTRACKS (and other websites) are selling Like A Virgin at 192000 Hz when the original master was recorded in digital at 44100 Hz. Many Madonna's digital masters seems to be recorded only at CD/DVD quality in the 80s and 90s. 

I also noticed it too. Even with other artists, they sell songs or albums that are 192kHz but if you look at it, it all just 44.1kHz. I noticed it with some "The Clash" HQ releases, when they say it's 192kHz but when I check it on Spek, it's just 44.1 kHz. Just weird.

@ all the analyzing talk

[Robertson Penn 2,801]

Idk why some remixes/edits always have a lossy kind of quality. Thought it was only Mariah and Sony who did that, I didn't expect that it also from other labels too. Anyways, we need to stream FEL despite of some crappy compressed qualities of edits/mixes they include. ✨

I'm sorry to ruin your experience, but only Like A Prayer and Express Yourself are real Hi-Res tracks in this 16 tracks version. The rest are almost CD quality, a little better (this is not bad, but far from "Hi-Res").

I'm not an expert but I heard right away the difference of these 2 with the rest.

Really disappointed not to have the rest in this quality. LAP and EY are stunning with lots of details that stand out.

A real listening treat

Is everyone gonna keep the remastered tracks as well as the original versions?

50 remastered tracks of mixes I already have, that sound no different to me, is a bit much to keep. It's gonna use up loads of space on my flash drive 🤷

Why do you need to keep them? They are literally available everywhere

Yes definitely. The originals in their respective single folders and these as a full separate album.

Is that a serious response? I save them to microsd so I can listen to them on my phone, same as I do with all of Madonna's video and remix videos.

But you can listen to them on your phone already? They are available on all streaming platforms

This is why Madonna's streaming numbers suck.

Warner is out there trying to force us to stream these 16 tracks and for what

Have you read any of my other posts? I always stream Madonna songs and albums, everyday, as that's how I like to listen to her music and help her streaming figures. I don't stream Madonna when I'm on my phone, I do it at home. I've already got FEL on Youtube music and Spotify going on now.

Warner is also "forcing" me to buy a $170 vinyl. And a triple CD. I don't need to stream Madonna's songs and I hate to hear compressed music.

And collectors are buying physical items that has a bootleg-kind-of quality. 😂 Sad for collectors (same goes to me who is also a digital copy collector) 😂😭

[Prayer 4,020]

Each format has its own advantages and disadvantages. Why don't we let everyone to do what's best for them or they like best? 

Also, formats don't compete with each other, most of us hardcore fans buy the physicals and also stream, and even buy the digital music on iTunes still, like myself. But even if you'd only listen to your Madonna music on vinyl, that'd be just fine if that's what you prefer. 

[PaperFaces 4,033]

Yeah I cancelled my subscription to "Hi-Res Spotify" because I remember thinking how compressed and muffled the music sounded.

I know what a Madonna track is supposed to sound like, and Spotify aint it.

So I keep buying the HQ tracks (Or CD's). Streaming is convenient, but it is today's equivalent of listening to radio. 

And strictly that: convenient.

There are plenty of hi-res streaming options. Spotify isn't the only streaming service 

[PaperFaces 4,033]

Dont care for them.

Would rather own the tracks.

It's how I consume music and thats it. To each his own.

[alvaroliam 331]

I will continue streaming the shit out of Madonna's work.

I own albums of my favorite bands and singers, but more in a collectible way since I don’t even have enough time to play them lol. 🥲 Streaming made my life easier.

Take my coins, mom!
