For a YouTube video like this, https://youtu.be/weQz5tGEKwE
Does 1080 provide better sound than 720 which provides better sound than 480?

If you download this as music file using Firefox's addon called "Easy Youtube Video Downloader Express", would there be no degradation of audio quality?



It does provide MP4 1080p (full-hd) option, which I suppose would be same quality.
But what about MP3 (HQ 256kbps)? Would that be as good as the 1080p sound? This is the highest quality you can download as mp3 file, the other being 128kbps. (To download, one needs to be a PRO user, which cost $10)

IMO screen resolution should have nothing to do with sound quality.

The few Youtube videos I posted before they got blocked I had to convert music file to MP4, which was my tweaked cd quality. But the MP4 doesn't have to be CD quality it could be better or worse.

In my early years of Home Audio at 256kp. If you don't have Hi Resolution equipment you probably can't hear or tell the difference from CD. With Hi- Resolution equipment I can tell the difference, usually in the bass. At 128 Kp I'd pass on it unless it was only version of song I could find. :smoke:
