If you’ve heard this before, stop: rumours over five decades, few teasings and surely something is happening, only fans impatiently give their time, and the ending will eventually arrive with very few warnings. No, I’m not saying this time. Spotify finally Provides higher quality music streams.
Most importantly, the company offers it to premium members at no extra cost. You will be notified after enabling notifications on your account. Starting today, Spotify will release lossless audio in the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, Austria, Czech Republic, Denmark, Germany, Japan, New Zealand, the Netherlands, Portugal and its hometowns in Sweden. Overall, by the end of October, Spotify Premium users will get lossless audio in over 50 markets.
This option is available on mobile devices, desktops and tablets, as well as many Spotify Connect-compatible devices, including Sony, Bose, Samsung and Sennheiser products. Spotify Lossless will travel to Sonos and Amazon devices and other devices next month.
Somewhat annoying is that you have to enable lossless Spotify manually, and you need to do this on every device you want to use it. To open it in the Spotify app, click on the profile icon in the top left and go to Settings and Privacy > Media Quality. From there, you have the option to turn on lossless audio for Wi-Fi and cellular streaming as well as your downloads. When it is turned on, you will see a lossless indicator in the now playable view and in the Connection Pickup.
Lossless streams use more data than other quality options, which is why Spotify offers multiple settings for Wi-Fi, cellular and downloads, so (hopefully) you won’t corrupt through any data caps you might have. You will be able to see data for various options (low, normal, high, very high and lossless quality) that will be used to help you figure out which way.
Spotify Lossless offers up to 24-bit/44.1 kHz FLAC streaming. The option means you can “do more detailed details in almost every song available on Spotify,” the company said.
It is worth noting that the company says that when you use wired headphones or speakers to stream music on a non-Bluetooth connection, you will get the best lossless experience because Bluetooth doesn’t have enough bandwidth to support lossless audio. So if you try to stream lossless music over a Bluetooth connection, the audio signal will still be compressed before it reaches the ear. Each lossless track may also take longer to start playing, as your device may need to cache it to avoid using the Stos in the middle.
“The wait is finally over; the lossless sound we’re so excited about is being rolled out to premium subscribers,” said Gustav Gyllenhammar, vice president of subscriptions at Spotify. “We’ve spent some time building this feature in a way that prioritizes quality, ease of use and clarity, so you always know what’s going on under the hood. With lossless, our quality users will now have a better listening experience.”
Gyllenhammar is not joking about Spotify spending time providing churn-free listening. It is reported The company “closely” provides lossless audio. In 2021, Spotify says this will but that didn’t happen, and the company kept mom’s choice of high-quality streaming but refuses to commit to issuance window).
Earlier this year, it was suggested that Spotify finally offer lossless options in 2025 . Thankfully, this is not the case, as lossless is included in the $12 premium subscription, which will definitely not become more expensive at some point in the future. No, there is no way. Anyway, Spotify, like Apple Music, including along with Premium, is comparable to Spotify . Now, Spotify, about Dolby Atmosphere…
