What's the difference between different plans and bitrates?

The bitrate of your plan determines two things:

The bandwidth used to stream to your server, and the bandwidth used to listen.

For most places, this bandwidth used is trivial. Listening on devices with low bandwidth may experience problems buffering audio at higher bitrates.

The quality of audio

The lower the bitrate, the less data that is sent to the listener and the lower quality of audio received. At lower bitrates, music will lose its fidelity and start to sound distorted. As an example, we have encoded a piece of music to each of the bitrates we offer. We’ve encoded the music in MP3 format as it’s by far the most commonly used format.
