Spotify on my iMac (320kbps) sounds wonderful and the same as my ALAC files played iTunes. For 12.99 euro a family pack is Spotify fantastic value. I do hear a lot of quality / loudness differences in content on Spotify, probably compression - loudness war.Still disappointed that Spotify is lagging so far behind as in my experience it has by far the best UI... They had a teaser for it a couple of years ago but nothing came of it.
I wonder if we can tell during a blind test what is the actual source from the PC/iMac ... I do know that the recording makes more difference than 320kbps vs files of around 900kbps.
