I’ll admit to not following Spotify that much since I’m not really into music, but I had no idea it was offering vinyl. The extra $5 per month gets users all the premium features that Spotify offers, discounts on limited-edition vinyls, and one free vinyl record. I have never been able to tell the difference between standard streams and lossless with the cheaper headphones I tend to buy. Obviously you will need the ears and the headphones to take full advantage of this new higher quality stream. The files with this upgrade plan aren’t compressed promising the ability to hear the audio as the artists intended. The main feature is higher quality streams with lossless quality audio at 44.1KHz 16-bit CD quality.
The upgrade cost is another $5 per month on top of your normal subscription and you get some cool stuff with the upgrade. The new subscription tier is called Spotify Hi-Fi. The streaming audio service is reportedly testing out a new lossless version of its streaming service for audiophiles who want the best sound quality available. Plus, August delivered a brief clip of what appeared to be the Spotify HiFi onboarding process.Spotify is one of the most popular subscription music services out there with hoards of users. That same month, eagle-eyed fans spotted a Spotify HiFi icon on the music service’s iOS app, but an update then did away with the HD-audio button. On the latter front, it bears mentioning that May of 2021 saw both Apple Music and Amazon Music announce that they would offer hi-fidelity streaming at no extra charge. But execs didn’t publicly disclose these additional details about the proposed feature, which Spotify relayed would bring an extra monthly charge for premium subscribers. Higher-ups first announced Spotify HiFi back in February of 2021, indicating at the time that additional details would emerge in the coming months – with a launch tentatively set for sometime during the remainder of the year.
