Spotify: no hi-fi quality after all
Unfortunately, sound enthusiasts can't sit up and take notice - Spotify curtly announces that the introduction of HiFi audio will be postponed for an uncertain time.
That's disappointing.
The competition has been streaming lossless for a while
Apple Music rolled out Lossless along with Spatial Audio back in June last year. Amazon Music in May. In response to Apple's announcement, Amazon even dropped the price premium for HD quality. Tidal has also been offering HD sound at no extra charge since November 2021. Even better quality will cost extra.
Spotify, on the other hand, joins Youtube Music and Napster. The two providers also do not yet have the option of offering better audio quality in their subscriptions.
At least no price increase
Most of the time, a train still arrives at its destination with an undetermined delay - it is to be hoped that this also applies to Spotify HiFi. Good things should take time, as we all know.
Testing devices and gadgets is my thing. Some experiments lead to interesting insights, others to demolished phones. I’m hooked on series and can’t imagine life without Netflix. In summer, you’ll find me soaking up the sun by the lake or at a music festival.
