Read on for five things you need to know about our new high-quality music experience: We agree, and that’s why today at Stream On we announced Spotify HiFi.īeginning later this year, Premium subscribers in select markets will be able to upgrade their sound quality to Spotify HiFi and listen to their favorite songs the way artists intended.
The news is: there is no news.Artists and fans have told us that sound quality is important to them. So now you still know as much as I do – that HiFi will be folded into the Premium tier – but don’t hold ya breath on its launch being imminent. We will of course update you here when we can. But we don’t have timing details to share yet. We feel the same, and we’re excited to deliver a Spotify HiFi experience to Premium users in the future. We know that HiFi quality audio is important to you. However, last Friday we were thrown a bone by way of a short statement on Spotify’s Community forums: The year bowed out without a whiff of an update on Spotify HiFi’s progress. Since then, we’ve heard nothing but crickets from the Swedes on Spotify HiFi. Three months later, Apple Music made certain of that: it added lossless streaming – with a smattering of hi-res content – into its then singular US$9.99/month tier.
In the immediate wake of the HiFi announcement, I predicted that Spotify would fold CD-quality streaming into its Premium tier i.e.
Spotify’s lossless CD-quality music streaming tier – minus hi-res content – was announced in February 2021 with Billie Eilish and Finneas playing brand ambassadors. And neither does anyone else (beyond those working within the Swedish company’s inner circle).
And if I did, there’d be ten+ thousand publications getting the scoop alongside this one. Where is Spotify HiFi? This question I’ve been asked more than any other since the Autumn.
