The lossless audio quality will also work via Spotify Connect-enabled speakers. Currently, Spotify tops out at 320kbps audio. Listeners will be able to access their improved digital music library through their device and Spotify Connect-enabled speakers.
Spotify HiFi will provide subscribers with “music in CD-quality lossless audio format,” according to the Swedish company. Cryptically, Spotify also said that it’s working with “some of the world’s biggest speaker manufacturers” to make sure Spotify HiFi is “accessible to as many fans as possible.” Once it’s live, Spotify HiFi users will be able to listen to lossless audio on their devices and any Spotify Connect-enabled speakers. No shit, you haven't given any updates period.Spotify announced today that it plans to release Spotify HiFi, a lossless audio tier of its music streaming service, sometime in 2021.Īccording to Spotify, high-fidelity audio is “consistently one of the most requested new features” by users. The quote from their Feb 22 article, over 300 days ago (!) was "Spotify HiFi will begin rolling out in select markets later this year, and we will have more details to share soon." Both of these 'will's are turning out to be false, so they have some explaining to do, but instead they just reply with generic "no updates at this time" statement. So then the annoying part is that they won't just admit their deadline was wrong and give a brief progress update. The code for HiFi is already hidden deep in the web and desktop client, it's just a matter of time now. If that's the only thing Golem got in the statement, I don't think that exactly means it's "postponed indefinitely" but just delayed and they won't say shit because they know it looks really bad - especially when Apple, Tidal, Amazon have long since released the same feature, and for no additional cost. That's pretty much what they sent back to me when I sent a feedback email about this. "We cannot give any further details at the moment" is just the default response the PR minions at Spotify copy and paste to anyone who presses them on why they aren't giving updates.
