Spotify has become the most widely used music streaming platform. The company of Swedish origin marked a before and after in the sector and, although it is true that there are some very solvent alternatives, the company with the green logo is the clear dominator. And now that Spotify HiFi is right around the corner, with more reason.
And, one of the negative points of Spotify compared to its great rivals was the lack of a subscription model that offered lossless audio. Instead, we have other options, such as Amazon Music HD or Tidal, which do offer high quality content.
Recall that at the time the streaming music giant already announced, through its official blog, that its online music platform would have songs in high resolution. The problem is, the coronavirus delayed its launch. Although it seems that finally Spotify will get closer to its rivals.
Or this is what emerges from the last video that has been leaked and where we can see a tutorial that shows how Spotify HiFi will work, the next subscription model for high-quality, lossless music listening.
The launch of Spotify HiFi is imminent
Say this video has appeared in a thread from the well-known Reddit photo, where we can see how the streaming giant’s lossless audio mode works. With a duration of less than a minute, we can see some details of the operation of Spotify HiFi.
For example, there will be a small green icon with HiFi symbol and that identifies that the song offers maximum quality, in addition to lossless audio. In addition, songs in this format will also be compatible with Spotify Connect, so you can send them to any sound device that has this streaming tool.
At the end of the video, which is clearly the setup tutorial and first steps of Spotify HiFi, we can see that it offers you to access the songs in this format, but at the moment the button does not work.
According to the possible release date of this Spotify Connect, at the moment it is a complete mystery, although according to the leak of the configuration video, we can assume that in the coming weeks they will announce it officially. And now, the million dollar question is: considering that Amazon Music HD and iTunes offer sound in this format without charging anything extra, will Spotify follow in their footsteps? Most likely not, so if you want to enjoy the best sound quality, you will have to pay an additional subscription.
