After years of anticipation, Spotify will soon launch its long-awaited one lossless audio function. Recent discoveries suggest that the streaming giant is preparing to offer high-fidelity audio as an optional add-on for existing subscribers. The move would bring Spotify in line with services like Apple Music, Tidal and Amazon Music HD, which already offer lossless audio.
Lossless audio offers a higher level of detail and clarity than standard compressed formats such as MP3. The goal is to replicate the quality of the original studio recording, preserving subtle nuances that can be lost in lower quality formats.
Spotify may launch the “Music Pro” add-on.
Spotify first announced plans for Spotify HiFi in February 2021, promising CD-quality lossless audio to launch sometime that same year. However, fans have had to wait as the feature has not been released.
According to Reddit user Hypixelic, Spotify may develop a lossless audio feature called 'Music Pro'. This feature comes as an add-on to existing subscriptions, rather than as a standalone subscription level. It would include advanced remix tools, allowing users to customize songs with TikTok-like creativity. Additionally, the feature can optimize audio output for specific headphones, improving the overall listening experience.
Music Pro could also expand on previous AI features and provide even smarter playlists and personalized insights into your music habits. Overall, Music Pro seems designed to appeal to both power users and casual listeners, offering exciting new ways to interact with music.
A welcome addition, but questions remain
The advent of lossless audio would be welcomed by audiophiles who value the highest quality listening experience. While rumors suggest this could soon become a reality, uncertainties remain. For example, the potential cost of “Music Pro” is unclear, as is the full range of features it could offer beyond lossless audio. Moreover, Spotify has not officially confirmed the existence or launch date of “Music Pro”.
Hopefully, users won't have to wait much longer to experience their favorite songs in crystal clear, high-fidelity sound on Spotify.
