Ah, that explains it.
Thanks for clearing that up,

Lots of older albums and it's "compressed" MCH, but still so much material... and it's free to listen to! Yes, there are ways to bypass the usual web browser stereo only playback limitation.

Ah thanks. I rarely use utube for music.

256​	MP4​	AAC (HE v1)​	192 Kbps​	Surround (5.1)​	Rarely​

Although, the ~384kb audio stream means only about ~64kbps per channel in 5.1 surround -- and so that's far more compressed than if only playing back the stereo only stream. I currently do not have an active "premium" YT/music account... Hmmmn, I wonder if a premium subscription would "unlock" higher bitrates -- and, if so, how high exactly? Because, if it's only 512kbps then I guess that amounts to only 85kbps per channel.
