Spotify's Lossless Audio Tier Coming Soon
Spotify is gearing up to introduce higher tiers of audio quality, with whispers of a lossless tier on the horizon. The music streaming giant has been hinting at these plans for some time, with recent developments suggesting an imminent launch.
Spotify first announced its HiFi service, promising CD-quality lossless audio, back in 2021. However, the rollout was delayed due to licensing issues. Now, Spotify Chief Business Officer Alex Norstrom has confirmed that the company is actively working towards higher tiers, potentially including a lossless option.
Spotify has signed new deals with major labels, paving the way for the launch of this new tier. Help cards in the desktop app describe it as offering the 'best sound quality' up to 24-bit/44.1 kHz. However, users should be aware of potential connectivity issues and songs unavailable in lossless format.
While Spotify executives have mentioned investing in premium products for 'super fans', they haven't provided a specific launch timeframe. Recent reports suggest that the lossless audio tier could become available sometime after mid-2025. Bloomberg has also reported on a potential premium Music Pro tier featuring high-quality streaming, expected to launch later in 2025.
Spotify's lossless audio tier has been found in the app's code, indicating ongoing development. Recent hints suggest that the HiFi-quality streaming service is planned but not yet launched. Users can expect improved audio quality, though they should be prepared for potential connectivity issues and limited song availability. With no official launch date confirmed, Spotify fans eagerly await more details on this exciting development.
