US EditionSpotify Just Tipped to Finally Bring Lossless Audio to the Masses — Here's What We Know
- Spotify is preparing to launch a lossless audio tier offering CD-quality sound up to 24-bit/44.1 kHz for Premium users, with no firm date announced.
- This development comes after Spotify secured licensing deals with major record companies at the start of 2025, following earlier setbacks caused by licensing and technical difficulties.
- New code discovered in Spotify’s desktop and mobile apps reveals references to lossless options, user help cards, and on-screen tips explaining lossless streaming and network requirements.
- One help card states, "Lossless music, now in premium," signaling that lossless quality will be integrated into Spotify Premium, though not all tracks will support it and wired devices will deliver best sound.
- Spotify’s entry into lossless streaming aims to satisfy audiophile demand and compete with services like Apple Music and Tidal, but the company has not confirmed a specific launch timeline.
