YouTube Music could receive an audio quality upgrade

When YouTube Music arrived on the scene in June, we wondered whether the music streaming service could hit the ground running and take the fight to the established giants, including Spotify, Apple Music and Tidal.

But as our initial review of YouTube Music showed, it didn't quite work out that way.

In an interview with Engadget, Elias Roman, YouTube Music's product manager, said the service will now receive regular updates every couple of weeks, including improved album sorting and better integration between YouTube Music and the YouTube video platform.

There's also an audio quality update coming 'in the next few weeks', which will allow users to choose between low, medium or high audio quality for streaming and downloads.
