Abstract:
Streaming services seek to optimise their use of bandwidthacross audio and visual channels to maximise the quality of experiencefor users. This letter evaluates whether objective quality metrics can pre-dict the audio quality for music encoded at low bitrates by comparingobjective predictions with results from listener tests. Three objectivemetrics were benchmarked: PEAQ, POLQA, and VISQOLAudio. Theresults demonstrate objective metrics designed for speech quality assess-ment have a strong potential for quality assessment of low bitrate audiocodecs
