Stockholm, Sweden – Spotify has rolled out a lossless audio streaming option to select users, promising a substantially enhanced listening experience.The update, initially announced in early 2024 adn becoming widely available in September 2025, allows subscribers to hear music with the full fidelity intended by artists and producers.
To enable lossless audio,Spotify users must navigate to their account settings. Accessing “Settings and Confidentiality” then selecting “Quality of the Media” reveals the new “Lossless” option, if available on their account. Users can then independently activate lossless streaming for both Wi-Fi and cellular connections, though cellular use is cautioned due to increased data consumption.
While the improvement is most noticeable with quality audio equipment in quiet environments – particularly with acoustic, classical, or complex musical arrangements – Spotify recommends utilizing wireless headphones or speakers. Devices supporting Spotify Connect offer superior audio quality compared to standard Bluetooth connections, leveraging Wi-Fi’s higher data transfer rates. Any Wi-Fi streaming device, including headphones with a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi dongle, will deliver better quality than Bluetooth.
It’s important to note that the lossless setting must be activated on each individual device where Spotify is used, as preferences do not automatically synchronize across phones, tablets, and computers. The upgrade aims to deliver a more immersive and detailed listening experience, allowing users to fully appreciate the nuances of their favorite tracks.
