From the Verge:

You can now expect HiFi to eventually appear as part of a more expensive plan — likely one that also includes spatial audio/Dolby Atmos and other perks related to audiobooks and podcasts.

that might swallow the Tidal wave

 

[defrsh]

The real question is  when is eventually..

 

[smallcaps]

I've been holding out for YEARS. Tried Tidal for the free month... Uninstalled after 24h. Can't sign up for Qobuz as it's not available in my country... not indoctrinated into the Apple ecosystem... C'mon Spotify... I'm happy to wait a bit longer as long as you don't f'ck it up...

Still coming at some point, lol.

I have a feeling I'll see Aliens before I see Spotify lossless

Engadget: Spotify may finally be ready to debut a premium HiFi audio tier

The Verge: Spotify’s long-anticipated HiFi tier might require a more expensive subscription

"Supremium"......

$19.99 per month, good luck with that?

 

[KaiFi]

I mean, that's Tidal's price. Seems like Spotify has been heavily leaning into Podcasts lately, but I doubt I'll ever use it for that purpose.

Right now I'm using Qobuz + Roon because of Roon's ability to integrate my home library with my streaming library. AFAIK Spotify can do that too, but I haven't subscribed because of the lack of lossless. This could be worth trying (it if offers "Hi-Res", that is).

Is it here yet?

 

[runningwithscissors]

I'll believe it when I see it

 

[draytonklammer]

I've been waiting for this for many years.
I'm fairly doubtful that we'll ever see it happen.

 

[afernandezfada]

This actually taught me that Apple Music has lossless at the same price point. I was not aware that was the case, will give it a try!
