Performance. YouTube Music has certainly upped its game for audio quality since we last tuned in. The service launched with 128 kbps streams but has now doubled the bit-rate to 256 kbps (the format is AAC).

Can AAC be 320Kbps?
Originally Answered: Which is higher quality: 256kbps AAC or 320kbps MP3? Standard iTunes uses a codec called AAC, at 256 kbps. 256 AAC is equivalent, if not slightly better than 320 MP3. The high-frequency encoding is more efficient (more faithful to the original audio).
