Playback quality refers to how well audio or video plays on a device. It includes how clear the sound is and how smooth the video runs. Good playback quality means that the music, movie, or any media file looks and sounds clear without any interruptions, blurring, or glitches. Things that affect playback quality include the speed of your internet connection, the power of your device, and the quality of the original file. For students studying GCSE Computer Science, understanding playback quality helps in learning about media formats and how data is processed on different devices.
