Audio quality and connection: listening on YouTube

Published tracks use the official videos from the Snow Tiger Records channel. Here is how to choose your settings and keep playback smooth for your connection.

01

From source file to video

Preparation uses the matching WAV file when available, or the available MP3. YouTube then creates its own encodings for streaming. Listening is therefore not a lossless audio service.

02

Choose settings for your connection

Open the video player settings to choose from the available quality options. YouTube’s Auto mode can adapt playback to your connection.

The resolutions shown apply to video. A higher resolution does not guarantee a particular audio bitrate. The site does not promise a fixed bitrate for YouTube.

03

Understand data use

Data use depends on the video, selected quality, browser and YouTube’s encodings. A lower video resolution may reduce the amount of data used.

On a limited connection, choose Auto or a suitable resolution in the player. The catalogue and track durations stay the same.

04

Stay in control of your listening

The site’s controls let you skip to the next track, adjust the volume, seek within a song and manage repeat. The YouTube player stays visible while you listen.

Moving between pages on the site keeps the same player, playback position, queue, repeat setting and timer. The video stays visible beside the listening tools. Leaving the tab pauses playback; return to the player to resume.

05

Share a page and find your track again

Use the site’s buttons to share a link to an album page or a track. The channel’s playlists also let you find the songs on YouTube.

Your listening position is saved locally if you enable that option. See the listening guide for favourites, the queue and the timer.

Vos favoris et votre volume restent dans le stockage local du navigateur. Si vous activez la reprise, le dernier morceau et sa position sont également mémorisés pendant 30 jours au maximum. La mesure d’audience est facultative et désactivée tant qu’aucun service n’est configuré.

Fonts, images and site files are hosted with the site. After you select a track, the official player contacts YouTube, which applies its own rules, including those concerning cookies and advertising.

Ending the session stops playback and closes the video. Your favourites and settings remain available until you clear them.
