Amazon Music Unlimited or Spotify: Which offers better sound?

Amazon hasn't revealed the streaming bitrate quality of its library, but it’s probably at 320kbps (Highest MP3 quality) and this would put it on par with Spotify who reserve the 320kbps streaming quality for its Spotify Premium tier (advert free). It's called high quality on computer and extreme quality on mobile. If you use the free tier and listen on a mobile, you can choose between 96kbps normal quality or 160kbps high quality. The same 160kbps streams are called standard quality on computer with adverts.
