Is the guitar solo not as crisp as you’d like? Does the singer seem muffled? Try adjusting your Audio Quality.
The Deezer app gives you four options from which to choose your Audio Quality. These are measured in bits per second, and basically, the more bits per second you have, the better your sound quality, but the more data is used to stream/download your music.
Remember: The higher the bit rate, the more it will eat your data. If your mobile data package is limited, you may want to consider lowering the quality to preserve data.
